This book explores the nature of climate change in southern Africa,
its impacts on tourism and the resilience, adaptation and
governance needs in various tourism operations and environments.
Previous studies on climate change and tourism have mainly focused
on the Global North and specific forms of tourism such as
snow-based winter activities. Drawing on case studies from a wide
range of countries including South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia,
Botswana and Zimbabwe, this book fills this lacuna by describing
and analysing the climate change and tourism nexus in the southern
African context. The book begins by providing an overview of the
current and estimated impacts of climate change to the tourism
industry in the region, highlighting the deepening socio-economic
inequities, and environmental and social injustices. It focuses on
the importance of sustainable tourism in tackling these issues and
highlights that resilience and robust governance and policy systems
are essential for a tourism destination to successfully adapt to
change. By synthesising the key lessons learned through this
analysis, Climate Change and Tourism in Southern Africa also draws
attention to specific adaptation and policy strategies which have
value for other regions in the Global South. This book will be of
great interest to students and scholars of climate change, tourism
and environmental policy and justice.
