Wildlife Tourism Dynamics in Southern Africa

Beschreibung

This book discusses opportunities, costs, and governance issues within the wildlife tourism space in Southern Africa. Wildlife tourism is a very important sector in Southern Africa. As such,  the book discusses sustainable economic benefits local communities derive from wildlife tourism while also supporting wildlife conservation. It addresses several contemporary issues that have affected wildlife tourism, focusing on different countries in the region. These issues include international agreements such as CITES, the decline in wildlife species and reactions from the international community, human-wildlife conflicts and conflicts between states, indigenous communities living adjacent to protected areas hosting wildlife, and how to address these. As such, the book is a useful resource for researchers, tourism stakeholders, policy makers and students, especially those studying natural resource management, tourism and development and sustainable development in Southern Africa and other parts of the developing world.
