WASHINGTON, October 3, 2013 – Although South Africa has achieved substantial tourism success, deepening and sustaining that success in the face of global competition is a constant challenge, according to
a new report released today.
Tourism in Africa: Harnessing Tourism for Growth and Improved Livelihoods, explores how tourism has been used as a tool for economic development throughout the world, and how Sub-Saharan African
countries can start or continue to use tourism as a source of growth and poverty alleviation. Written primarily for government state, and local policy makers, potential investors and other stakeholders, the
report provides an objective analysis of the tourism industry, its economic value and its potential.
