Tourism in sub-Saharan Africa: production-consumption nexus

摘要

There has been a growing academic interest in tourism in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), as reflected in some relatively recent research and scholarship on the region (Backman & Nzuki, 2011a, 2011b; Dieke, 2009; Hyman, Ojo, & Wall, 1980; Rogerson & Visser, 2012). By definition, SSA refers to African countries south of the Sahara - including the African island states offshore of the western and eastern coasts, respectively, the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. This is a sub-continent as part of the developing world which has been under-researched in the tourism literature relative to other less-developed tourism regions.
