Focusing on the future of tourism, Sustainable Tourism Dialogues in
Africa is inclusive of experienced and emerging researchers, as well as
incorporating local stakeholders in the tourism industry: architects,
tourism operators, sustainable tourism lobbyists, policy makers,
archaeologists, and geographers. The editors are frontline sustainable
tourism advocates in Africa, and the book's thematic content is derived
from 30 inter-university seminars on sustainable tourism hosted by
Sustainable Travel & Tourism Agenda Kenya from 2017 to November 2019.
These seminars involved the participation of 17 universities in Kenya,
tourism operators, conservationists, developmentalists, investors,
policy makers, and students.
Every chapter is a voice projecting aspirations for the responsible
management of tourism in Africa and promoting the ideals of sustainable
tourism that young people in Africa advocate for the industry's future.
In so doing, the authors pinpoint the necessary actions for bringing
about transformations in sustainable development of tourism. The book
thus seeks to encourage debate, while facilitating the development of
both theoretical and practical foundations for managing tourism
sustainably in Africa.
