Sustainable Tourism in Southern Africa: Local Communities and Natural Resources inTransition

About half in earth and environmental sciences and half in tourism, researchers look at the issue from such perspectives as the call for sustainability, tourism policy, women and tourism, spatial perspectives of private and public sector reform in Namibia, South Africa's Kruger National Park as an example of commercialization, trans-frontier conservation and local communities, the socio-economic impacts of tourism in Botswana's Okavango Delta, and local food as a key element of sustainable tourism competitiveness.
