Introduction The Hwange National Park is a tourist destination in a natural area where wildlife has roamed for centuries. Since the park has been in existence for nearly a century, it has developed and gone through the beginning stages of the TALC model, finally reached the stages where the park life cycle is coming to a close unless rejuvenation takes place. The Moissec Diffusionist model presents the progressive changes throughout the park. Therefore, the two models to analyze Hwange National Park within this study will be that of Butlers TALC model and Moissec’s Diffusionist model.

With the limited funds that the NPS receives from the government, it does not allow for many improvements in infrastructure among all the parks and monuments. According to The Conservation, “NPS has a backlog of overdue maintenance projects that stands at $12 billion and rising... this includes infrastructure” (Bilmes and Loomis). Keeping park infrastructures up to date is important because it brings in more tourism. If the parks are equipped with newer roads, bridges, trails, and utilities it will spark interest among tourists especially younger kids.

If kids grow up to have a connection with nature and its history, then they will want to help preserve and take care of the parks and monuments in

Camps now a days are fun for children when they are bored during the summer they can stay there for weeks make friends and learn all sorts of new stuff while their parents don’t have to deal with them for a while and are sure they are safe and having fun.
