Wildlife tourism is a branch of the tourism industry in many countries that focuses on observing and interacting with local animals and plants in their natural environments. Wildlife is a renewable resource with a surplus, hunter's aid in maintaining a healthy wildlife population for the habitat through wildlife hunting.
Wildlife hunting tourism is an effective way to raise revenue and create economic incentives for wildlife conservation.

Wildlife hunting tourism helps African nations practice conservation while also improving the livelihoods of rural and indigenous people so that it reduces their dependence on foreign aid. These nations follow revenue-sharing agreements between rural communities, private enterprises, and conservation agencies. These communities are then paid 50% of the revenues generated by the tourism activity. In 2022, According to Property and Environment Research Center (PERC, a conservation and research institute dedicated to free market environmentalism), trophy hunting will account for 90% of revenue generated through campfire.
Due to the governments of countries like South Africa and Namibia's commitment to wildlife conservation, the wildlife conservation factor is expected to have a negative impact on the global wildlife hunting tourism market. There are various wildlife welfare organizations, such as the Born Free Foundation and Humane Society International, among others that are creating awareness about wildlife conservation and discouraging people from wildlife hunting. Moreover, they also pressure governments to ban wildlife hunting in their countries. This factor is expected to hamper market growth of the global wildlife hunting tourism over the forecast period. These associations refute claims that wildlife hunting benefits conservation and contributes significantly to local economies.
