- W4366150862 abstract "The African continent is rich in biodiversity which offers significant touristic value and holds great potential for continuous socio-economic advancement of the continent. Tourism, which is a major feature of the world economy, continues to play an important role in global development. It is a major driver of economic growth in emerging economies, as it is a key contributor of jobs and employment opportunities. Many countries (both developed and developing) have recognized the contribution of international tourism to their development. The tourism industry has experienced uninterrupted growth in international tourist arrivals over the last decade and Africa’s natural wonders remain a source of attraction to many and, as such, continues to gain attention throughout the world. Some of the benefits derived from tourism include income generation, increased employment opportunities, foreign exchange, incentives to inward investment and regional development, as well as revenue creation. Tourism in Africa has vast potential and innovation, environmental consciousness, and sustainable management of touristic resources that can ensure that it remains one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global economy with huge socio-economic benefits that are not at the expense of the environment. This chapter reviews the touristic value of the African environment from the socio-economic perspective while giving attention to sustainability issues revolving around the tourism industry as well. This chapter starts with an overview of the various touristic resources presented in the African environment and their socio-economic value and highlights the present state of tourism in Africa. The socio-economic impacts of tourism development in Africa and the environmental challenges that confront the tourism industry are also carefully examined. As the chapter progresses, the concept of biodiversity and sustainable environmental management is also explored. Case study scenarios of the application and relevance of tourism to sustainable biodiversity management are cited. This chapter concludes with a discussion on the sustainable development of Africa through sustainable ecotourism and the role of ecotourism in sustainable development. Some ecotourism projects across Africa are also identified and discussed. The importance of developing a resilient and sustainable tourism industry to boost GDP and investment, create employment opportunities, and reduce poverty rates is also duly highlighted." @default.
