Описание:
Over the past 20 years, the perception of tourism as an effective contributor to socio-economic development in the developing world has propagated, with many viewing tourism as a provider for poverty alleviation and towards other UN Millennium Development Goals. Over the same period, readers have become familiar with the paradoxes, complexities and inequalities of tourism in relation to development, wealth creation, growth, redistribution, governance and 'hosts-guests' relationships. This volume further extends this critical debate with a much-needed cohesive publication on Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA).
In an era of fluctuating tourist arrivals at global level, the growth of tourism in SSA requires deeper consideration in terms of its inconsistent and questionable implications at local level. Taking as a central theme the debate on whether tourism should be used in development efforts, this book examines the way in which tourism has controversially become the way forward to development in several SSA locations and assesses bottlenecks to sustainable development as well as dilemmas and challenges faced by those SSA destinations seeking to achieve development through tourism. It offers an explicit set of chapters adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing upon tourism studies, human geography, sociology, anthropology, political economy, development and environmental studies, and integrates case studies authored by local African practitioners and academics to produce a book that gave voice to local experts on local realities. Combining an overview of key theories, concepts, contemporary issues and debates as well as practical insights from a wide range of regions in SSA, this book will be a valuable resource for those investigating the role of tourism in development.

Описание:
This book is about articulations of issues whose relevance for defining action for development in tourism has been brought forward by different stakeholders in tourism destinations. The dialogues first emerged during a series of monthly inter university seminars on sustainable tourism, hosted by universities in Kenya. Sustainable Tourism Dialogues in Africa seeks to encourage debate, while facilitating the development of both theoretical and practical foundations for managing tourism sustainably in destinations within Africa. Sustainability is not a fully developed perspective as a destination management system in Africa, and this is because it takes into account socio-political processes that pertain to stakeholder interaction in tourism. This book therefore captures key narratives on sustainable tourism in Africa, identifying main actors in destination context needed to bring about transformations, and presenting their politics and interests, as illustrative of the socio-political context for managing tourism responsibly in destinations. This consequently aims to create an understanding to bring about implementation efficiency in addressing developmental challenges through tourism. Each chapter covers a topical issue, such as tourism planning, tourism product development, and describes:
perceptions and priorities of people in destinations within Africa, in the sustainable management of tourism.
feasibility and acceptability of potential sustainable management solutions for tourism in destination contexts within Africa.
Sustainable Tourism Dialogues in Africa draws its thematic content from 30 monthly inter university seminars on sustainable tourism, running from 2017 to November 2019, involving participation of 17 universities in Kenya, as well as drawing interest from university students across East Africa. Students at each university selected seminar topics, and this strongly incorporates young people's perspectives on defining important issues for sustainable tourism in Africa. It therefore hints at the ideals for sustainable tourism that young people would want in tourism futures.
In 2017, the first monthly inter university seminar was held in Nairobi, and discussed the issue of tourism impacts. 2017 was the International Year for Sustainable Tourism, and STTA launches the monthly inter university seminar.
In 2018, the seminars pick consistency in participation, and attract partners, who are key destination actors for tourism, in select topics of their specialization. The seminars continue to facilitate dialogue between academia, government representatives, tourism students, non-governmental organizations, local communities, and private sector business in tourism.
By 2019, 30 seminar highlights have been published.
Each chapter grouping dialogue will comprise chapter contributions, research notes, and box section for each chapter, allowing for other destination stakeholder insights. Box section case studies to showcase chapter topics at specific case examples. Research notes will be a summarized scholarly review of presented thematic issues in the book.
The chapters will have contributions from research and professional networks at the Sustainable Tourism Africa Institute (www.sttakenya.org), which already has faculty participation from 17 universities in Kenya and private sector.
Some box section contribution will be from Network of Education in Sustainable Tourism (https://www.nest-tourism.org), which is a professional network for open dialogues in tourism, with regional representation of 6 countries from Africa, among others.

Representing an important contribution to the evolution of more effective pro-poor climate change policies in urban areas by local governments, national governments and international organisations, this book is invaluable reading to students and scholars of environment and development studies.
