Document: Not working together: Tourism and Agriculture in Rural South Africa

Description

  • This research reports findings on tourism - agriculture linkages in South Africa -  a different geographical focus to other work
  • Specifically the research is on food supply chains to luxury safari lodges across South Africa and issues of pro-poor impacts.
  • These lodges are located in often remote areas where local communities suffer high levels of poverty and because of the high paying customers that they attract, are seen as potential vehicles for pro-poor local economic development.
  • South Africa provides an intresting context for studying tourism - agriculture linkages because of national responsible tourism guidelines encourage 'local' procument and findings that show participation in supply chains might be more beneficial to poor communities than actual involvement in the tourism product.
