4 TOURISM Tourism is essentially defined as a social, cultural and economic phenomenon which entails the movement of people to countries or places outside their usual environment for personal or business/professional purposes. (UNTWO) Countries are regions that are identified as distinct national entities in political geography. They imply a nationalistic bordered area with all the rights and privileges pertaining thereto for those inside. Countries' borders are thus barriers that prevent free flow of individuals or tourists - from outside.
5 Grand Tour 17 th Century Cross-border tourist guiding 21 st century European Union Canada and USA
6 Cross-border tourism (C-BT) Cross-border tourism (C-BT) implies the movement of people across the borders of a country under the guidance of a qualified tourist guide (D. Timothy)
7 Cross-border tourism challenges - difficult for tourist guide to hand over - interruption of the tourist experience - discrepancy in standards and expectations - economic competitiveness - Cross-border tourism advantages - tourist guide maintained or confident about hand over - continuity of tourist experience - consistency in standards and expectations - benefit both tourists and local communities - mitigate damage to destinations due to illegal guiding activities Supranational alliances - collaboration for economic development - alignment of training and regulations - bilateral, multilateral national agreements - environmental trans-border / trans-frontier parks
8 South African Minister of Tourism Derek Hanekom: When tourism succeeds, the African continent succeeds and millions of people benefit from this success. (Indaba, May 2016, Durban) United Nations World Tourism Organization: Tourism is growing faster in the world s emerging and developing regions than in the rest of the world. (UNTWO 2014) Agnes Akiro Tourism State Minster of Uganda: African states agree to complement each other rather than compete. The understanding is that we would be more competitive as a united force. (Indaba, May 2016, Durban)
9 SADC PROTOCOL on TOURISM Signed in 1998 Mauritius, enforced 2002 Article 2 sub-sections 10 & 11 - To facilitate intra-regional travel for the development of tourism through the easing or removal of travel and visa restrictions and the harmonization of immigration procedures - To improve tourism services and infrastructure in order to foster a vibrant tourism industry The region recognises the urgent need to improve tourism infrastructure in readiness for the forecasted growth that could see the SADC region receiving approximately 58% of the total continental traffic by 2027.
