Allen explores politics, development, climate change and their influences on African tourism development, specifically as related to South Africa... Much of the book’s source material is meant to examine the everyday lives of a broad swath of South African people, set in a context both how they live their lives as well as the recent history of South Africa’s apartheid policy... Tourism, Development and South Africa is by definition intended to encourage a critical understanding or a way of thinking.
