Book excerpt: This publication is part of a series of annual reports which analyse trends in international tourism. It focuses on regional and subregional tourism trends in 2001 in Africa as a whole, and by individual country. It looks at arrivals, receipts, hotel capacity, and major source markets. The year 2001 is regarded by tourism experts as the worst year in living memory, and Africa was the only region in the world to improve on its previous year's level of tourist arrivals, by registering a 4.3 per cent growth increase. Generally, tourism to the continent is influenced by its own immediate problems rather than world developments, with the domestic instability in a single country having negative effects on perceptions of the region as a whole. It is hoped that joint programmes, such as the New Partnership for Africa's Development (Nepad) initiative (by which African governments have pledged to promote transparent democratic governance, human rights and the prevention of conflict) will help encourage tourism to the region.

Download or read book Sustainable Tourism Policy and Planning in Africa written by Emmanuel Akwasi Adu-Ampong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Tourism Policy and Planning in Africa offers an accessible and understandable overview of the challenges of integrating sustainability into tourism policy and planning in Sub-Saharan Africa and provides some interesting recommendations on how these could be overcome. Tourism is currently growing faster in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and in many other developing regions compared to the rest of the world. Using case examples from different segments of the tourism sector in different country contexts, this volume therefore reassesses context specific tourism policies and planning mechanisms in SSA over the years. It considers how the increasing focus on sustainability is reflected in different areas of the tourism sector including food security, the human capacity management, service delivery, local communities and heritage management, climate change and the influence of colonial legacies on tourism policy planning. For many SSA countries, it has only been in the last two decades that the development of sustainable and achievable context specific policies and planning mechanisms has become the norm. The chapters provide examples of how different dimensions of sustainability are integrated into tourism policy and practice, and examine the extent to which these are shaping the present, and their implications for the future sustainability of the tourism sector. Sustainable Tourism Policy and Planning in Africa will be of great value to academics, private and third sector employees to better understand tourism in Sub-Saharan Africa. Eight of the chapters were originally published as a special issue of Tourism Planning and Development. These are now complimented with a new introductory chapter and a concluding chapter that sets out a future research agenda for sustainable tourism policy and planning.

Download or read book A History of Tourism in Africa written by Todd Cleveland and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engaging social history of foreign tourists’ dreams, the African tourism industry’s efforts to fulfill them, and how both sides affect each other. Since the nineteenth century, foreign tourists and resident tourism workers in Africa have mutually relied upon notions of exoticism, but from vastly different perspectives. Many of the countless tourists who have traveled to the African continent fail to acknowledge or even realize that skilled African artists in the tourist industry repeatedly manufacture “authentic” experiences in order to fulfill foreigners’ often delusional, or at least uninformed, expectations. These carefully nurtured and controlled performances typically reinforce tourists’ reductive impressions—formed over centuries—of the continent, its peoples, and even its wildlife. In turn, once back in their respective homelands, tourists’ accounts of their travels often substantiate, and thereby reinforce, prevailing stereotypes of “exotic” Africa. Meanwhile, Africans’ staged performances not only impact their own lives, primarily by generating remunerative opportunities, but also subject the continent’s residents to objectification, exoticization, and myriad forms of exploitation.
