Yet these opportunities also come with considerable environmental, social and political challenges. This book interrogates the interactions between urban risks, tourism and sustainable development in Sub-Saharan African urban spaces. It addresses the underlying issues of governance, power, ownership, collaboration, justice, community empowerment and policies that influence tourism decision-making at local, national and regional levels. Interrogating the intricate relationships between tourism stakeholders, this book ultimately reflects on how urban risk can be mitigated, and how sustainable urban tourism can be harnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Urban tourism in the developing world is an underappreciated yet vital topic. Increased urbanisation, often poor public infrastructure, and increased threats, not least of which are global environmental change and the climate crisis, highlight the need for greater research on the interrelationships between urban tourism, risk and resilience at various scales. This edited volume on Sub-Saharan Africa is extremely timely and welcome and provides a rich source of insights and experiences that will prove extremely valuable for those concerned with tourism and urbanisation both now and in the future. This volume is strongly recommended.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eProfessor Michael Hall, Department of Management, Marketing and Entrepreneurship, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Sustainability debates concerning tourism in sub-Saharan Africa traditionally are framed in the context of the continent’s rural and protected areas. This volume breaks new ground in African tourism scholarship by re-focussing sustainability debates upon Africa’s growing cities, acknowledging them as leading tourism destinations, and interrogating the linkages between urban risks, tourism and urban sustainability. Leonard, Musavengane and Siakwah have assembled a rich original collection of theoretical and empirical material which provides a new benchmark for researchers on sustainability and tourism in the global urban South in general and sub-Saharan Africa more specifically.\" - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eProfessor Christian M.

The book highlights the challenges and risks involved, but also showcases the potential benefits of tourism on natural, cultural, political, and historical resources of the continent’s urban areas by exploring four main themes: (1) urban tourism and environmental pollution risks, (2) peace tourism, battlefields and war risks, (3) tourism, climate change and flood risks, and (4) inclusive urban tourism and enclaves.

This book is a welcome addition to the literature about tourism in Africa supporting the continent to develop travel and link urban tourism, risks, and sustainable development. This book is highly recommended as it interrogates these relations in the sub-Saharan African urban spaces. It does this by drawing on themes such as governance, environmental justice, power, ownership, xenophobia, collaboration, empowerment, climate change, human settlements and policies that influence tourism and tourism decision-making at various local, regional and national levels. Through its rich theoretical and empirical contributions by African scholars the book will be of value to academics, decision makers, city planners, tourism managers and students alike to reflect on how sustainable urban tourism can be achieved in African urban spaces.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eProfessor Dimitrios Buhalis, Distinguished Professor, International Centre for Tourism and Hospitality Research, Bournemouth University Business School, United Kingdom\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Urban Risk and Tourism in Africa: An overview, \u003ci\u003eLlewellyn Leonard, Regis Musavengane and Pius Siakwah \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheme 1: Urban tourism and environmental pollution risks Chapter 2: \u003c\/b\u003eExamining 'toxic tourism' as a new form of alternative urban tourism and for environmental justice: The case of the South Durban Industrial Basin, South Africa, \u003ci\u003eLlewellyn Leonard and Robin Nunkoo \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3: \u003c\/b\u003eWaste management and urban risk in Livingstone City, Zambia: The sustainability of the hospitality sector, \u003ci\u003eWilma Sichombo Nchito and Euphemia Mwale \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4: \u003c\/b\u003eThe political economy of unplanned urban sprawl, waste and tourism development in Ghana, \u003ci\u003ePius Siakwah \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5: \u003c\/b\u003eEnvironmental risk management and township tourism development in Alexandra, Johannesburg, South Africa, \u003ci\u003eLlewellyn Leonard and Ayanda Dladla \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheme 2: Peace tourism, battlefields and war risks \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6: \u003c\/b\u003eMegasport Events and Urban Risks: FIFA 2010, the African Bid and Xenophobic Violence, \u003ci\u003eBrij Maharaj \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 7: \u003c\/b\u003eElections risk and urban tourism in Sub-Saharan African cities: Exploring peace through tourism in Harare, Zimbabwe, \u003ci\u003eRegis Musavengane \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 8: \u003c\/b\u003eThe role of responsible tourism in peace-building and social inclusion in war risk cities: Evidence from Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo, \u003ci\u003eClément Longondjo Etambakonga and Dieudonné Trinto Mugangu \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheme 3: Tourism, climate change and flood risks \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 9: \u003c\/b\u003eFactors influencing tourism accommodations’ lack of preparedness for flooding in Lagos, Nigeria, \u003ci\u003eEromose Ebhuoma and Llewellyn Leonard \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 10: \u003c\/b\u003eClimate change impacts and adaptation strategies for tourism hotspots Mombasa and Cape Town, \u003ci\u003eFrancini van Staden \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 11: \u003c\/b\u003eRisk of flood impacts on tourism in coastal cities of West Africa: a case study of Accra, Ghana, \u003ci\u003eRaphael Ane Atanga and Tembi Tichaawa \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 12: \u003c\/b\u003eThe nexus of climate change and urban tourism in South Africa: Triaging challenges and optimising opportunities, \u003ci\u003eFelix Donkor and Kevin Mearns \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheme 4: Inclusive urban tourism and enclaves \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 13: \u003c\/b\u003eHuman Settlements and Tourism Development in Kenya: Prospects for Tackling Urban Risks in Informal Settlements, \u003ci\u003ePrudence Khumalo \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 14: \u003c\/b\u003eConservation tourism challenges and opportunities on the Cape Flats, South Africa, \u003ci\u003eMichael Dyssel \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 15: \u003c\/b\u003eResilience, Inclusiveness and Challenges of Cosmopolitan Cities’ Heritage Tourism: The Case of the Balancing Rocks in Epworth, Harare, \u003ci\u003eZibanai Zhou \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 16: \u003c\/b\u003eProspects and challenges of sustainable urban tourism in Windhoek:\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003epoverty, inequality and urban risks linkages, \u003ci\u003eErisher Woyo \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 17: \u003c\/b\u003eNavigating urban tourism amidst environmental, political and social risks: Conclusion, \u003ci\u003eRegis Musavengane, Llewellyn Leonard and Pius Siakwah\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018016489815,"sku":"9780367682835","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780367682835.jpg?v=1750775371","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sustainable-urban-tourism-in-subsaharan-africa-9780367682835","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
