Sustainable tourism in South Africa
Welcome to South Africa – the land of wildlife parks and safari tours - a land of many contrasts. From the sandy beaches to majestic mountains, fertile valleys to endless stretches of desert, there are few countries to rival South Africa’s scenic splendour. Not only rich in many unique species of flora, South Africa is home to the “Big Five” and an unparalleled variety of animal and bird species. Join us on a journey of discovery… and capture for yourself the elusive spirit of Africa’s natural heritage.
South Africa has dedicated over three million hectares of its total landmass to the conservation of its natural heritage. This 'world in one country' has a stupendous variety of habitats and wildlife.
The safari plays an important role in Eco-Tourism in South Africa. The safari is almost impossible to separate as a tourism experience in South Africa from a nature experience. So rich is the country in scenic beauty and wildlife, that these facets remain the strongest motivation for overseas tourists to join a South Africa Safari. No trip to the country would be complete with visits to cities or created resorts only; visitors flock to the better known scenic regions and beaches and insist on a safari tour through a game park. And there is still a wealth of lesser-known areas to discover for the safari adventureer !
As an eco-destination, South Africa has an enormous responsibility. The international definition of the word eco-tourism implies far more than merely a nature-experience. The term environment in its broader context has come to include the diverse community activities and cultures of a country's inhabitants, as well as its scarce and sensitive natural resources. Eco-tourism implies tourism practices that would benefit all concerned parties rather than benefit some concerns and neglect others. The term "eco-tourism" has therefore come to include concepts such as planning before development; sustain ability of resources; economic viability of a tourism product, no negative impact on either the environment and local communities; responsibility for the environment from developers, the tourism industry and tourists; environmentally-friendly practices by all parties concerned; and economic benefits flowing to local communities.
