The role of city governments in responsible tourism
Presented at the Responsible Tourism in Cities Conference, 6 May 2011. Presenter: Nombulelo Mkefa, Director of Tourism, City of Cape Town
The Peninsula All Suite Hotel - Sustainable Energy Update
This document summarizes a responsible tourism pilot project at The Peninsula All Suite Hotel. It discusses the hotel's environmentally friendly initiatives to improve sustainability, save costs, and create jobs through recycling. It also covers the hotel's hospitality grading to understand competitors and pricing, BEE compliance to increase business, and OHS Act compliance for staff and guest safety. People management initiatives like performance reviews, motivation, and communication are mentioned. The hotel has also implemented a CSI plan for marketing, BEE points, and team motivation. In summary, the hotel discusses its responsible tourism initiatives and 21 years of success in maintaining occupancy while reducing costs and developing its staff.
Unconventional marketing & brand-building for RT business
Responsible Tourism Week is an annual event that takes place in October to promote responsible, community-focused tourism practices that maximize local economic and social benefits while minimizing negative impacts. The week highlights the importance of sustainable tourism development that considers environmental protection as well as the well-being of host communities and destinations. It encourages travelers to choose operators and destinations that adhere to responsible tourism principles.
Brand, responsible tourism and the marketplace
The document discusses responsible tourism and its potential for cities. It argues that cities should take the lead in responsible tourism as they are major tourism destinations that can shape perceptions of entire countries. Cape Town is provided as a case study, having taken steps to become a more sustainable and responsible tourism leader through initiatives like increasing green public transport and prioritizing low carbon emissions. However, responsible tourism is still considered niche and travellers often prefer traditional holiday experiences over responsible ones, so more work remains to be done to mainstream responsible tourism.

From Philosophy to Pocket: How RT can ROCK your world
Presentation by Helen Turnbull of Serendipity Africa. Given on 13 February 2012 for the Responsible Cape Town Pecha Kucha, part of Responsible Tourism Week 2012. www.responsiblecapetown.co.za/blog/how-to-use-rt-to-help-your-companys-bottom-line/
The Business Case for Responsible Tourism
This document discusses responsible tourism and urban renewal in Port Elizabeth, South Africa through two case studies. The first case study examines the semi-pedestrianization of Govan Mbeki Avenue, the city's main street, and market research that found most people travel there by minibus taxi or walk. The second case study looks at redeveloping the Donkin Reserve, a heritage property, to include public artworks linking it to the city's history and institutions through an open commission process. Both case studies aim to boost the local economy, foster social interaction, and enhance the environment through tourism and urban development projects.
