Routledge - Urban Tourism in the Developing World: South Africa

Explore the shifting landscape of global urban research with Urban Tourism in the Developing World: The South African Experience. While much of the existing scholarship in the field of urban tourism focuses on Western European and North American cities, this work addresses a significant gap in current literature. As the scope of urban research expands to include cities outside the traditional Euro-American heartland, this book provides necessary insights into the tourism phenomenon within the developing world. It specifically examines the South African experience, offering a perspective that is often missing from broader international debates. This text is a vital resource for understanding how tourism functions in African urban centers, moving beyond the established studies of the developed North to provide a more global view of the industry.
