A proposition to interrogate the spectacle of Indigenous Peoples in biodiversity loss and climate change governance
Melting glaciers as symbols of tourism paradoxes
Thermal stress risk to skateboarding in Johannesburg, South Africa
Skateboarding, an urban sport predominantly undertaken on heat-retentive impervious surfaces, exposes participants to a heightened thermal stress risk, exacerbated by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. While heat stress in traditional sports is well-documented, a research gap exists concerning its impact in a less-traditional sports including skateboarding. This study, conducted at Tighy Park in Westdene, Johannesburg, investigates the intersect…

Design/methodology/approach Online in-depth interviews with 40 younger respondents (Millennials and Gen Z’s) examined their perceptions of service robots and thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings We found that intervi…
A Proposition to Interrogate Limitarianism in Sustainable Tourism for Redistribution and Justice
This article engages with sustainable tourism as an excessive form of consumption that needs to be further interrogated through “limitarianism,” a philosophy and ethics for an upper limit of wealth. It critically examines the role of sustainable tourism in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) 30 × 30 initiative, which aims to conserve 30 percent of the Earth by 2030. Sustainable tourism is often presented as a financial mechan…
Woodstock was a ‘lekka’ place”: Neighbourhood gentrification and generic-ification in a South African city
Theorising township tourism: Moving beyond the ‘slum’
‘Slum’ tourism research tends to recycle normative arguments while remaining lacking in theory • The literature relying on township tourism as a key example of slum tourism overlooks its evolution • An emphasis on place presents a way forward for theorising tourism in marginalised settlements
Path creation for an electricity transition in South African tourism
Transitions to low-carbon energy are central to sustainability transitions, with electricity being a pressing current concern both in South Africa and globally. Economic, social, institutional, and political factors often make transitioning to renewable electricity particularly complex. In this article, we examine electricity transitions in tourism from a global South context, combining evolutionary economic geography (EEG) concepts with the mult…
Whispered in corridors’: Intra‐national politics and practices of knowledge production in South African Human Geography
Reflections on the state of Geography around the globe have noted multiple challenges and opportunities—including a call for the reconfiguring of the discipline as a critical space of care and praxis (Daya, Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 47, 9, 2022). Such a call is indelibly connected to broader conversations on the politics of knowledge production and critical engagements with cultures of knowledge production. In order to…

Climate Change and Tourism in Southern Africa
This book explores the nature of climate change in southern Africa, its impacts on tourism and the resilience, adaptation and governance needs in various tourism operations and environments. Previous studies on climate change and tourism have mainly focused on the Global North and specific forms of tourism such as snow-based winter activities. Drawing on case studies from a wide range of countries including South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia, Botswan…
Implications of Misleading News Reporting on Tourism at the Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
The tourism sector plays a major role in the economic development of a number of countries in the Global South, particularly Southern Africa. One such country is Zimbabwe, which struggles with significant economic hardships and relies heavily on the tourism sector. The Victoria Falls, a key tourism attraction of Zimbabwe on the Zambezi River was the subject of a plethora of news articles published between November 2019 and January 2020. The media…
Adapting to climate change: The case of snow-based tourism in Afriski, Lesotho
Climate change poses significant challenges to the tourism sector, with snow-based tourism particularly threatened. Snow-based tourism is largely dependent on adaptation, including snowmaking practices and product diversification. In the global south, the limited snow-based tourism products face similar challenges to the global north, but with significantly higher vulnerability and lower adaptive capacity. By making use of a questionnaire survey …
Towards quantifying climate suitability for Zimbabwean nature-based tourism
Climate and weather are key resources for tourism. For nature-based tourism, weather determines the timing and variety of activities, while longer-term climate affects the seasonality of both tourism arrivals and the natural environment tourists will experience. This influence is heightened in developing countries, where little adaptation has been implemented to ameliorate unfavourable climate and extreme weather events. The Tourism Climatic Inde…
Resident tourists and the local 'other
Recent years have witnessed growing numbers of residents exploring their own cities as tourist destinations. This phenomenon challenges academic understandings and definitions of who is defined as a tourist, and what differentiates tourists from residents when both display the same behaviours linked with spectacle and consumption. Of particular interest in these developments are situations where the emergence of 'resident tourists' involves resid…
Exploring Climate Change Threats to Beach Tourism Destinations: Application of the Hazard–Activity Pairs Methodology to South Africa
Climate change poses significant threats to the sustainability of tourism economies globally. This is particularly true for beach tourism, which is highly dependent on the mean climate, daily weather, and natural setting of a destination to attract and satisfy tourists. This case study of the South African coastline provides new insights to the applicability of the vulnerability assessment methodology of hazard–activity pairs to the global south …
Tourists’ reviews of weather in five Indian Ocean islands
Favourable climate forms a key resource in attracting tourists to tropical coastal destinations. Warm temperatures and clear skies are ideal conditions for tourists to spend long days on the beach and engage in outdoor activities. By contrast, rain, strong winds, high humidity and cloud cover serve as a deterrent. These factors influence tourists’ choice of destination, timing and duration of stay, and enjoyment of their vacation, and are therefo…

The potential role of tourism microentrepreneurship in the prevention of rhino poaching
Conservation in South Africa's Kruger National Park has evolved from protection of select wildlife species for hunting, to their subsequent protection for the viewing consumption by the wealthy. Gradually, tourism became a mechanism for funding conservation efforts and for the exclusion of indigenous residents from the use of resources. The historical exclusion of gateway communities from wildlife tourism revenues has led to conflict with conserv…
Ethical concerns around inner city walking tours
Walking tours are common practice in urban tourism and are, historically, one of the earliest examples of urban tourism. Due to a rise in the demand for so-called “authentic” experiences in tourism in recent years, there has been a growth in different types of cultural walking tours, particularly in poor neighborhoods of major cities globally. The increase in these tours brings to light a number of questions concerning the ethics of taking people…

Focusing on the ‘blessing’ and not the ‘curse’ of second homes: Notes from S outh A frica
This paper is set against the backdrop of criticism from certain quarters framing second homes as an elitist phenomenon that is part of the negative consequences of changing rural geographies. It is shown that South Africa has a long history and ever growing number of second home owners across the whole spectrum of class cohorts who form an integral part of the country's rural geographies. It is argued that accepting and framing second homes as a…
