A new model of tourism development has recently emerged out of a
widening concern for the morality of tourist experience. Known
variously as 'ecotourism', 'new tourism', socially responsible
tourism', huge claims are made for it in terms of what it might
offer in promoting national tourism development. Yet how well does
this new model work in practice? And what does it mean to be an
international tourist encountering the cultural, political and
economic particularities of the South African experience? Garth
Allen and Frank Brennan seek to explore the realities of this new
morality of tourism as experienced in four important tourist areas
of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa: the greater St Lucia Wetland Park
- South Africa's third largest reserve and a vast and beautiful
area accredited World Heritage Status; the Phinda Resource Reserve,
renowned for its diverse habitats and rich wildlife; Kosi Bay, a
wetland area of international importance; and the Durban
beachfront. For the first time they try to locate the international
tourist within the moral maze of tourism in the new South Africa.
Their analysis can be applied to other societies committed to the
belief that investing in tourism development will be a fast track
to economic development and will resonate with the moral challenges
facing the international tourist.
