Recenzje

"This book looks at a range of case studies from Southern Africa and unpacks the complex and dynamic relationship between natural resources, tourism and community livelihoods... there is much food for thought in this set of case studies to form the basis of some much-needed foresight work in the field." — Sabine Michaela Lehmann, Journal of Tourism Futures, Vol. 6 No. 3, 2020
