Sommario/riassunto

Despite its potential to unlock socio-economic benefits in rural and protected areas in a manner that addresses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), rural and protected areas tourism is yet to be thoroughly examined by academics, scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. This lack of exploration has undermined the potential benefits associated with tourism development in rural and protected areas. Given the complexity of rural tourism, this contributed volume explores current and future debates on the subject using cases in Southern Africa. The book is useful for various audiences, including tourism academics, planners, cultural and heritage practitioners, and rural development planners. The topics covered include gender, transformation, service delivery, visitor experience, wildlife tourism, and host-community tourism interaction.
