Logically structured, data-led and richly illustrated throughout, chapters provide theoretical, policy and practical implications on the successes and challenges of achieving sustainable agritourism destinations, with an emphasis on technology, that not only grows African economies, but offers work opportunities, increased social empowerment and diversity. Based on empirical research, the volume covers a wide range of topics relating to agritourism in Africa, elucidated through inclusion of case studies and examples from around the continent, including Ghana, Angola and Nigeria. Topics covered include discussion of the features required for a successful agritourism business, the impact of social media and digital marketing on new agritourism destinations.
This volume will be of pivotal interest to students, researchers and scholars of Tourism, African Studies and Development Studies.
