This edited collection focuses on tourism development,
sustainability and local change in southern Africa. The book offers
a range of both conceptual and applied perspectives that address
various changes in southern African tourism and community
development relations. The key drivers of change that include
climate change and globalization form the context for the diverse
and interesting set of case studies from the region. The main
conceptual grounds of the book cover sustainability, sustainable
development goals (SDGs), responsibility, vulnerability,
adaptation, resilience, governance, local development and inclusive
growth. In this book sustainability is seen as one of the most
important issues currently facing the tourism sector, affecting all
types and scales of tourism operations and environments in the
region. Tourism is an increasingly important economy in the
southern African region and the industry is creating changes for
communities and environment while also facing major challenges
caused by global trends and changes. The book offers a case study
driven approach to sustainability needs of tourism development in
local community contexts. The case study chapters are linked
through the bookâs focus on sustainable tourism and local
community development. Through emphasizing the need to understand
both global change and local contexts in sustainable tourism
development, this book is a valuable resource for all those working
in the field.
