Americans Want Cameras Aimed At African Lions, Not Rifles
U.S. adults vastly prefer taking photos of lions over shooting them. The tourism industry should focus on preservation and protection of wild lions to keep tourism strong.
This poll of over 1,000 U.S. adults finds that 70.4% of tourists are willing to pay to view lions, but only 6.6% are willing to pay to hunt them. This suggests that, in order for Africa to keep its travel and tourism industry healthy, it should focus on the preservation and protection of wild lions and their habitat.
