  • Forecasting Tourists Arrivals at Chinhoyi Caves Recreational Park in Zimbabwe Using SARIMA Model
    International Tourism and Hospitality Journal 1(2): 1-10 (2018) Print ISSN: 2616-518X Online ISSN: 2616-4701 RPA ITHJ Journals International Tourism and Hospitality Journal Journal Homepage: https://rpajournals.com/ithj Forecasting Tourists Arrivals at Chinhoyi Caves Recreational Park in Zimbabwe Using SARIMA Model Tendai Makoni*1, Delson Chikobvu2 Bongani Maphosa3 Great Zimbabwe University, Zimbabwe1,3 University of the Free State, South Africa2 Abstract Forecasting tourist arrivals and volatility for Chinhoyi Caves Recreational Parks using SARIMA-GARCH models are vital for decision and planning purposes. The monthly data from the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZIMPARKS) for the period January 2010 to December 2016 was used. The time series plot indicated mixed fluctuations in tourist arrivals and exhibited seasonality. The series became stationary after a logarithmic transformation and a seasonal difference. The Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) and the Bayesian Information Criterion was used in selecting the best model and a SARIMA(1,0,1)(1,1,0)12 model fitted well to the data. The residuals of the model confirmed to all tests. Accuracy measures like the mean absolute error (MAE) and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) supported the model and an out of sample for the next 24 months (2017 to 2018) were done. From the forecasts, an increase in tourist arrivals was noted. The results imply the need for enough accommodation facilities in and around the recreational centre.

Murombedzi January 2003 CONFERENCE PAPER SERIES No. 16 Committees, Rights, Costs and Benefits: The Question of Natural Resource Stewardship and Community Benefits in Zimbabwe’s CAMPFIRE Program James C. Murombedzi The Ford Foundation Johannesburg, South Africa 1 In the CAMPFIRE formulation, the resource management problems obtaining in the communal areas of Zimbabwe are the result of the absence of both the institutional capacity as well as the incentives to manage the resources in question. The CAMPFIRE solution, therefore, was to introduce new systems of group ownership and territorial rights to natural resources to communities, and provide the appropriate institutions for legitimate resource management for the benefit of these communities (Martin 1986). The implementation of this solution was attained through the enactment of an amendment to the Parks and Wild Life Act of 1975, which enables the government to delegate appropriate authority over the wildlife to the ‘communal representatives’. The CAMPFIRE program in fact constitutes a transfer of the notion of ownership, successfully implemented with regard to individual landowners, to communal landowners (Farquharson 1993). This chapter tests the extent to which CAMPFIRE has in fact been able to devolve ownership over wildlife to communities in the communal areas, and thereby promoted stewardship of wildlife through the production of benefits for the participating communities. To achieve this, I will proceed by first evaluating the extent to which CAMPFIRE has succeeded in eliciting stewardship of the wildlife resource by participating communities through the devolution of clear and unambiguous rights to wildlife to these communities.

  • Crop Area, Condition and Stage
    Foreword The Government of Zimbabwe has continued to exhibit its commitment for reducing food and nutrition insecurity in Zimbabwe. Evidence include the culmination of ZimASSET’s Food and Nutrition Security Cluster and the multi-sector Food and Nutrition Security Policy (FNSP). Recognising the vagaries of climate variabilities and the unforeseeable potential livelihood challenges, Government put in place structures whose mandates are, among other things to provide early warning information for early actioning. The Food and Nutrition Council, through the ZimVAC, is one of such structures which strives to fulfil the aspirations of the FNSP’s commitment number 6 of providing food and nutrition early warning information. In response to the advent of the El Nino phenomena which has resulted in the country experiencing long dry spells, the ZimVAC undertook a rapid assessment focussing on updating the ZimVAC May 2015 results. The lean season monitoring focused on the relevant food and nutrition security parameters. The process followed a 3 pronged approach which were, a review of existing food and nutrition secondary data, qualitative district Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and for other variables a quantitative household survey which in most cases are representative at provincial and national level. This report provides a summation of the results for the 3 processes undertaken and focuses on the following thematic areas: the rainfall season quality, 2015/16 agricultural assistance, crop and livestock condition, food and livestock markets, gender based violence, household income sources and livelihoods strategies, domestic and production water situation, health and nutrition, food assistance and a review of the rural food security projections.
