Mwanza and Dar es Salaam than in Arusha. Chi-square test showed that location of properties between urban, rural, 
and resort settings were also significantly different in the three cities. Dar es Salaam had highest number of rooms. 
However, for the number of single rooms, Mwanza ranked highest followed by Dar es Salaam and then Arusha. This 
was interesting because Tanzania’s tourism sector has a large share of tour or group travelers that result in double 
occupancies and therefore a greater need for double rooms. It appeared that the other two cities had realized this and 
accordingly geared toward this need. Arusha ranked highest and Mwanza was the lowest in average capacity of a 
tent. This was expected because of a higher safari or nature tourism activity originating out of Arusha. Finally, 
restaurant seats were highest in Dar es Salaam and lowest in Mwanza probably because of a difference in demand 
from independent and business travelers. In the case of education of the owner and that of the manager, Mwanza 
ranked lowest. Highest ranking was Arusha. With regard to age of respondents (many of whom were owners) 
Arusha ranked highest followed by Mwanza. Working experience in the current establishment ranked highest in 
Mwanza and lowest in Dar es Salaam.
