Covid-19, Tourist Destinations and Prospects for Recovery: Volume Three: A South African and Zimbabwean Perspective
This book covers the impacts of COVID-19 on Zimbabwe and South Africa as a tourist destination and focuses on tourism recovery initiatives and prospects.
Climate and conservation challenges facing Marakele National Park and their implications for tourism
Due to climate change’s effects, protected areas, particularly national parks, face conservation challenges, negatively impacting tourism. Sustainable tourism requires understanding the climate and conservation challenges in national parks and their implications for tourism. Marakele National Park in South Africa faces climatic and conservation challenges. A purposive and snowball sampling strategy was used to select study participants. An in-dep…
Examining Current and Future Challenges of Sea Level Rise on Coastal National Parks
Over the past decade, the increase in extreme weather events requires each sector to reflect on vulnerabilities to develop strategies for ramping up climate action. Owing to the shortage of climate data, significant knowledge gaps exist in some sectors of society and the economy, particularly in developing countries such as Africa. This has caused challenges for adaptation and resilience building as governments and other stakeholders cannot lever…
Tourism and climate change in Africa: Informing Sector Responses
Informing Africa's tourism sector responses to the IPCC-AR6's projected climate change impacts remains paramount. This study reviews the evolution of knowledge on climate change and tourism in Africa, examining gaps, scholarship trends and policy issues since the IPCC-AR5 in 2014. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline is used to gather and synthesise the relevant literature. The study observed i…
Covid-19 and the global cruise ship industry: Potential recovery and reformation pathways
The cruise ship industry was one of the fastest growing subsectors of the tourism industry before the advent of COVID-19. This paper examines the prospects and recovery of the cruise ship industry from the devastating impacts of COVID-19 on the industry. The study relied mostly on event study and secondary data, including survey data from authoritative sources, data from representative organisations, news reports and academic literature. The resu…
Cyclones in Southern Africa: Volume 1: Interfacing the Catastrophic Impact of Cyclone Idai with SDGs in Zimbabwe
Flooding trends and their impacts on coastal communities of Western Cape Province, South Africa
Counting the Cost of Covid-19 on the Global Tourism Industry
Covid-19 cripples global restaurant and hospitality industry
The restaurant and hospitality industries are crucial socio-economic sectors that contribute immensely to the global economy. However, these sectors are vulnerable and sensitive to natural hazards such as the COVID-19 pandemic and any resultant economic downturns. This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on the global restaurant industry using data from OpenTable and other sources. The study found that sit-in guests dropped to zero in many …
Covid-19 vaccines and treatments nationalism: Challenges for low-income countries and the attainment of the SDGs
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (AfSD) has the vision to leave no one behind, particularly low-income countries. Yet COVID-19 seems to have brought up new rules and approaches. Through document and critical discourse analysis, it emerges that there has been a surge in COVID-19 vaccines and treatments nationalism. Global solidarity is threatened, with the USA, United Kingdom, European Union and Japan having secured 1.3 billion doses of…
Remote sensing based drought monitoring in Zimbabwe
Purpose – Drought monitoring is an important process for national agricultural and environmental planning. Droughts are normal recurring climatic phenomena that affect people and landscapes. They occur at different scales (locally, regionally, and nationally), and for periods of time ranging from weeks to decades. In Zimbabwe drought is increasingly becoming an annual phenomenon, with varying parts of the country being affected. The purpose of th…
