Cultural Tourism in Southern Africa
Langue : Anglais
Auteurs : SAARINEN Jarkko, HARETSEBE Manwa, MOSWETE Naomi
This volume provides an accessible overview
of cultural tourism in southern Africa. It examines the utilisation of
culture in southern African tourism and the related impacts, possibilities
and challenges from deep and wide-ranging perspectives. The chapters use
case studies to showcase some of the cultural tourism which occurs in the
region and link to concepts such as authenticity, commodification, the
tourist gaze and 'Otherness', heritage, sustainability and sustainable
livelihoods.
The authors scrutinise both positive and
negative impacts of cultural tourism throughout the book and explore
issues including the definition of community, ethical considerations,
empowerment, gender, participation and inequality.
The book will be a useful resource for
students and researchers of tourism, geography, anthropology and cultural
studies.
