VFR travel sector was second only to business travel in terms of the negative impacts of COVID-19 restrictions imposed in South Afric…
Historical Geographies of Coastal Tourism: Mossel Bay, South Africa c.1850-1988
During the past decade there has occurred a burst of international research and debate on coastal tourism as part of the ‘blue economy’ including a growth of geography-specific scholarship. Arguably, however, within the extant geographical literature there is an overwhelming ‘present-mindedness’ and limited historical perspectives. This paper addresses this neglected knowledge gap by using an historical approach and archival sources to undertake …

New Directions in South African Tourism Geographies
Tourism, Local Economic Development and Inclusion: Evidence From Overstrand Local Municipality, South Africa
A critical focus within the growing scholarship around tourism development and planning is that of tourism and local economic development (LED) planning.

CICs are an intervention to build innovation sites to ameliorate climate change and a highly distinc…
Studentification and commodification of student lifestyle in Braamfontein, Johannesburg
The process of studentification has emerged as a new form of neighbourhood change in the global North over the past 16 years and often situated within broader debates on gentrification. The growth of private student housing across cities globally has been linked to the increased neoliberalisation and massification of higher education and the lack of universities to keep up with the supply of student housing. Limited scholarship, however, exists o…

This article examines the role of budget hotels within the wider restructuring of the South African hotel industry following th…
Market segmentation and the changing budget hotel industry in urban South Africa
Residential neighbourhoods developed using various techniques in Kathmandu by both the public and private sectors have not only provided a poor urban setting and failed to address socio-cultural needs, but are also poor at building a community and creating links to the built environment, with the result that the planned areas lack a sense of place and the inhabitants lack a feeling of home. Although traditional neighbourhoods in the historic core…

Addressing South Africa’s urban challenges
Lundmark and Pettersson show that principles and processes underpinning innovative clusters in metropolitan areas cannot always be used as a blue print for economic development in rural and sparsely populated areas of a country. They explore this issue in the Swedish context where, because of the country's particular geography, regional policy for non-metropolitan areas requires thoughtful consideration. In combination, the first four papers of t…
