Since its first mention in the academic literature, ecotourism has
been endorsed by NGOs and governments as the most environmentally
sound and locally beneficial method of tourist development. Over
the last thirty years sub-Saharan Africa has adopted ecotourism as
the primary focus for tourism development; research into this has
demonstrated mixed results. In this publication, we seek to explore
the actual outcomes for African countries that have developed their
tourism policy around the principals and values of ecotourism. The
sheer scope and magnitude of the task means that a complete
evaluation of ecotourism in Africa is impossible. Instead, included
here are spot assessments of various aspects of ecotourism related
to conservation, policy development, environment, governance,
community and indigenous peoples in southern Africa. The studies
cover a wide array of countries, including Botswana, Kenya,
Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Though this is
only the beginning of a needed long term evaluation of the
positives and negatives of ecotourism, it provides a starting point
from which to move forward. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the Journal of Ecotourism.
