As such, tourism has a wide range of impacts on environment, economy, cultures, and the everyday life of people. These processes have highlighted the role of sustainability in tourism development.This book represents an accessible examination of the connections between tourism and sustainability in southern Africa. It introduces connections between tourism, sustainability and development with a range of case studies and examples from the region. While the book and the individual chapters are emphasising the key role of tourism in the transition processes of local communities and environments, the social, cultural, economic and political contexts of tourism and communities are also highlighted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eI would recommend this book to anyone interested in the role tourism plays in the often difficult processes of transition for natural resource dependent communities. A wealth of case studies analyse the socio-spatial contexts that shape the outcomes of tourism development policy in the SADC region. It is a joy to be acquainted with these very specific contexts - and the selection of authors alone needs to be loudly applauded given that we generally hear the Southern African story from researchers located in the 'North'.\u003c\/p\u003e * Dorothea Meyer, Sheffield Hallam University, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe strength of this book is in its involvement of local researchers in the southern African region itself. The international collaboration has provided a wider audience for their work, and I think this book will encourage other international researchers to seek them out for future collaborations. Jarkko Saarinen is to be commended for his initiative.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Ralf Buckley: International Centre for Ecotourism Research, Griffith University, Australia in Annals of Tourism Research, Vol. 37, No. 4, pp. 1212-1214, 2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART I\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIntroduction and Contexts\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction: Call for Sustainability - Jarkko Saarinen, Haretsebe Manwa, Deon Wilson and Fritz Becker\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e2 Tourism Development in Southern Africa: Patterns, Issues and Constraints - Chris Rogerson\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e3 Tourism Policy and Politics in Southern Africa - C Michael Hall\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e4 Gender and tourism in Southern Africa - Haretsebe Manwa\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e5 Sustainable Tourism: Perspectives to Sustainability in Tourism - Jarkko Saarinen\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePART II Tourism development and local policies of sustainability\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e6 Tourism, Conservation Areas and Local Development in Namibia - Spatial Perspectives of Private and Public Sector Reform - Fritz Becker\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e7 Nature-based Tourism and the Commercialization of National Parks - David Mabunda and Deon Wilson\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e8 Natural Resource Based Tourism and Wildlife Policies in Botswana - Julius Atlhopneng \u0026amp; Kutlwano Mulale\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e9 Tourism, Nature Conservation and Environmental Legislation in Namibia - Susanne Scholz\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e10 Transfrontier Conservation and Local Communities - Maano Ramutsindela\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePART III Tourism, Local Communities and Natural Resources in Transition\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e11 Village-based Tourism and Community Participation: a Case Study of the Matsheng Villages in Southwest Botswana - Naomi Moswete, Brijesh Thapa and Gary Lacey\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e12 Socioeconomic Impacts of Tou rism in Okavango - Joseph Mbaiwa and Michael B.K.
