Elisha Woyo presented a paper on tourism development at Domboshava National Monument in Zimbabwe from 2005-2010. The paper analyzed the economic, environmental, and sociocultural impacts of increased tourism. It found that tourism led to job creation, income generation, and infrastructure development in the local community. However, tourism also caused some social conflicts and threatened the site's traditional spiritual values as visitor numbers grew. The paper concluded that sustainable tourism is needed to conserve the environment and culture while ensuring community benefits from tourism are long-lasting.

19. Doxey (1975)’s Irridex Model of Tourist
Irritation - Euphoria, Apathy, Irritation and
eventually Antagonism as more and more
tourist activity happens in their area.
Euphoria – Visitors are welcome , there are
opportunities for local people, new money
flows in but there is lack of planning
Apathy – visitors taken for granted as they
become targets for profit making

20. Annoyance – saturation is approached, too
many visitors, locals doubt tourism, planners
develop more infrastructure
Antagonism – open irritation appears, tourism
cheated, strong dislike of tourists, blames
Acceptance – change has appeared
permanently, change is now accepted (Doxey,
1975)
