This book provides an overview of innovative and new directions
being chartered in South African tourism geographies. Within the
context of global change the volume explores different facets and
different geographies of tourism. Key themes under scrutiny include
the sharing economy, the changing accommodation service sector,
touring poverty, tourism and innovation, tourism and climate
change, threats to sustainability, inclusive tourism and a number
of studies which challenge the present-mindedness of much tourism
geographical scholarship. The 18 chapters range across urban and
rural landscapes in South Africa with sectoral studies which
include adventure tourism, coastal tourism, cruise tourism,
nature-based tourism, sports tourism and wine tourism. Finally, the
volume raises a number of policy and planning issues in the global
South in particular relating to sustainability, local economic
development and poverty reduction. Outlining the impact of tourism
expansion in South Africa and suggesting future research
directions, this stimulating book is a valuable resource for
geographers as well as researchers and students in the field of
tourism studies.
