“Good Tourism” news & events

Enjoy “GT’s” monthly “Good news in tour­ism” posts, which sum­mar­ise a month’s worth of “GT” Insights, “GT” Travel, “GT” Part­ner news, and your comments.

Also find here Partner/Sponsor mes­sages from The “Good Tour­ism” Blo­g’s Part­ners and friends plus cov­er­age of travel & tour­ism industry events to which “GT” is invited or oth­er­wise involved. Ad hoc sponsored news posts are also very welcome.

“GT” retired its weekly “Good news in tour­ism” posts in April 2021. The weekly posts fea­tured brief sum­mar­ies of and links to pos­it­ive industry news from off-piste sources. Before Decem­ber 2019, “GT” would sum­mar­ise under-repor­ted news stor­ies or thought-pro­vok­ing fea­ture art­icles by non-industry media. The sources were well-attrib­uted and linked. Any con­tent “GT” repub­lished in full was avail­able for that pur­pose from the likes of The Con­ver­sa­tion and Thom­son Reu­ters Found­a­tion.

CABI Tourism Cases on community-based tourism development in sub-Saharan Africa

CABI Tour­ism Cases presents suc­cesses, poten­tials, and chal­lenges of com­munity-based tour­ism and hos­pit­al­ity for urb­an and rur­al devel­op­ment in sub-Saha­ran Africa. The tour­ism industry has become one of the key socio-eco­nom­ic sec­tors of sub-Saha­ran Africa. In the last few dec­ades, the tour­ism industry in most sub-Saha­ran Afric­an coun­tries has sur­passed most oth­er eco­nom­ic sec­tors in terms of gen­er­at­ing busi­ness oppor­tun­it­ies, for­eign exchange earn­ings, and employ­ment prospects.
