Andrew Mwenda: Let's take a new look at African aid
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/andrew_mwenda_takes_a_new_look_at_africa.html
| Quote: | | In this provocative talk, journalist Andrew Mwenda asks us to reframe the 'African question' -- to look beyond the media's stories of poverty, civil war and helplessness and see the opportunities for creating wealth and happiness throughout the continent. |

Ecotourism as development option for Africa? - Gerhard Buttner
http://sustoptions.blogspot.com/2008/08/ecotourism-as-development-option-for.html
| Quote: | This is especially interesting on a local level in communities with a certain set of basic conditions. To mention a few:
· A reason for tourists to visit.
· Reasonable access from existing tourism centers.
· A group of people committed to invest many working days with low or no short-term returns.
· A real interest in offering sustainable and responsible tourism.
· An understanding of the concept of quality service.
· Social cohesion and internal organization.
· An understanding of the importance of communication and promotion.
(Ignoring these last two so often leads to failure that they are worth looking at in more detail in a future blog entry) |

Air travel to Africa and climate change
http://sustoptions.blogspot.com/2008/10/air-travel-to-africa-and-climate-change.html
| Quote: | | The issue of carbon emissions caused by air travel is becoming an increasingly heated debate. Soon regulating airline emissions could become an integral part of the UK climate change bill. This raises the question of what would happen in poorer countries of Africa (and elsewhere) which rely on tourism for much-needed international revenue and regard tourism as important part of their development strategy, if tourists would stop coming due to changes in air travel regulations. |
