"Using a rich set of detailed case studies, this volume furnishes
the first comprehensive analysis of the role of the private sector
in conservation areas. For researchers of tourism, development
studies and biodiversity conservation this book is a new and
important benchmark in African scholarship." -Christian M.
Rogerson, Research Professor, School of Tourism & Hospitality,
University of Johannesburg. "This is an impressive book that will
make an important contribution to the literature on private-sector
involvement in the delivery of tourism services in parks and
protected areas in Africa." - Dr. Paul F. J. Eagles, Distinguished
Professor Emeritus, Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies,
University of Waterloo. Tourism in Africa's protected and conserved
areas involves partnerships and interactions between numerous
stakeholders such as governments, communities, NGOs, the private
sector and academics. Through the use of 32 comprehensive case
studies from 11 African countries, this book presents guidelines to
ensure optimal benefits for stakeholders as well as promoting the
sustainability of tourism in Africa. It includes descriptions of
the various models for the private sector to engage in tourism in
conservation areas in Africa, such as pure private sector
ownership, joint ventures, tripartite agreements and government
leases. End-to-end coverage of the processes used to develop these
partnerships is provided, as well as best practices for the private
sector engaging in tourism. The book provides guidance on
identifying the most suitable private sector tourism options based
on guidelines of conditions and desired outcomes, to promote the
long-term sustainability of African tourism in protected areas. Key
features include: - The first book to provide a detailed analysis
of private sector involvement and partnerships in tourism in
Africa. - Includes best practice examples to develop tourism
partnerships with the private sector. - Highlights important tools
to enhance the sustainability of tourism in Africa, involving
numerous stakeholders. This book is recommended for academics,
