Item description from seller

Neuware - All too often conservation efforts are seen to be in conflict with local livelihoods and resource use. As more land and natural resources are incorporated into protected areas 'responsible tourism' is often invoked as a way to serve both conservation ends and support local livelihoods and promote economic development. Yet does it actually work in practice Employing case studies drawn from across southern Africa - one of the testing grounds for the idea that responsible tourism can promote biodiversity conservation and poverty alleviation - this book provides a comprehensive, evidence based examination of the range of issues of what works and what does not. The book opens with an overview of the issues, looks at what sustainable and responsible tourism are in practice and how they may contribute to conservation, poverty alleviation and local economic development. Part one provides a rich examination of policies and institutional activities in responsible tourism by governments, donor agencies and non-governmental organizations in South Africa and Mozambique. Part two considers wildlife tourism and ecotourism across southern Africa, looking at local economic development, local benefits from tourism (such as equity and employment), supply and demand for responsible tourism, certification and fair trade, the economics of wildlife tourism, transfrontier conservation areas, ecological impacts of tourism and a host of other issues. Part three looks at community based tourism in more detail with case studies of various projects drawn from across the region including Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia and from as far north as Tanzania. The book concludes with a detailed synthesis of the key findings with implications for policy, management and the business side of tourism.This is an essential reference and a unique and rich source of cases studies and salient insights for professionals and academics from across conservation, development and tourism. Published with the Southern African Sustainable Use Specialist Group (SASUSG) of IUCN.
