Fresh Perspectives Tourism Development 1
Fresh Perspectives Tourism Development 1 is the first book of its kind to offer a new and relevant focus on tourism in line with the government’s drive to encourage responsible tourism development in South Africa. Written by a team of experts in the field of tourism development, it looks at tourism not only as a major industry in South Africa, but also as a developmental tool to alleviate urban and rural poverty and create jobs at community level. It offers new and thought-provoking material on tourism development on the African continent, the attraction selection process, the main tourism destination developmental models, tourism as a developmental strategy in urban revival and rural economic and community-based development and empowerment, and spatial development initiatives in South African tourism development.
