Unlocking the Potential

About this book

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the potential of geotourism in sub-Saharan Africa for promoting social sustainability and ecological justice. It examines the challenges facing the region for geotourism development and the innovative approaches and best practices for overcoming these.

Drawing on case studies from the region, the book provides innovative insights that explore the intersection of geotourism with poverty alleviation and job creation. Thematically it engages with a range of critical issues, from leveraging geotourism for local socio-economic development to the intersection of geotourism with environmental conservation efforts. The book delves into the intricacies of geoheritage and geotourism threats in the face of climate change and extractive industries. By examining the untapped potential of geoheritage sites, this book seeks to shed light on opportunities for promoting local sustainable development in economic, social, and environmental dimensions.

The book will be of great interest to academic scholars, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, industry, governments, and tourism and conservation organisations. It will be of appeal to individuals in the fields of geotourism, ecotourism, cultural tourism, sustainable tourism development, geoeducation, and geoscience.
