• TOURISM IN SOUTH AFRICA
-Sustainable tourism is not just about being green - it's about ensuring a long term future for African tourism based on partnership and community benefit. Unifying as an industry so that we can reap the rewards in years to come rather than decimate our natural resources and habitats for short term gain.
-The beauty of the tourism industry is that it offers employment opportunities which are not necessarily highly skilled.
-Tourists to South Africa do not have to feel guilty about leaving a dirty carbon footprint if we as an industry can facilitate sustainable tourism which empowers and uplifts local communities.
Coexistence
• CURIOSITY Cape Town, South Africa-South Africa’s second-largest city is making some of the biggest environmental strides in Africa, in part by pushing for more energy conservation and a greater use of renewable resources.
• NATURAL RESOURSES IN SAVANNA-While the standard image of the savanna is that of an endless plain with little more than tall grasses and the occasional tree, the savanna grasslands are full of natural resources.
• PEOPLE OF SAVANNA-The people who inhabit the vast lands of the African savannah identify strongly with the land. They originally came in search of food, and today, they survive hunting game and eating honey, fruits and vegetables. Food, religion, dress, and tribal roles of these people have remained unchanged for thousands of years compared to daily life in a modern city or town.
