Abstract
Privatization is the letting go of state owned business enterprise to the private sector. The private sector, is the potion of business not under direct control of the government. It is made of sole businesses, corporations, and non -governmental organizations. In Zambia privatization was effected in 1991, when the Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD), came into power. Tourism is the business of providing accommodation and services: for people visiting a place. A privatized tourism industry is that in which the government is restricted to the roles of providing infrastructure and regulations so that the industry can be developed by the private sector. The aim of the research is to determine the status of tourism in before and after privatization in Livingstone. To achieve this numbers of tourists visiting Livingstone, will'be looked at. The government role in a privatized tourism industry -will also~be looked at as well as how these roles are being carried out in Livingstone. In obtaining this data both primary and secondary methods of data collection will be used. For sampling simple random sampling wiHbe used The results show that tourism is slowly improving in Livingstone. It alsoshows that the government role in a privatized tourism industry is that of a regulator and provider of infrastructure. However these roles are not adequately being played by the government, although lately, some effort is being made through the repairing of infrastructure, and improving of water supply. The report shows that the status of tourism in Livingstone before privatization was that of a second stage of tourism development, while after privatization it is in transition between the second and third stages of tourism development.
