Publisher's Synopsis
September 27th is World Tourism Day and this year the theme is Sustainable Tourism - a Tool for Development. In South Africa, September is also Tourism Month. Under the theme 'We Do Tourism Sustainably', South African Tourism is driving awareness on the importance of domestic tourism to the economy. Our features on African Airports, African Arrivals, and the African Hotel Valuation Index all stress the importance of domestic tourism to local economies. In keeping with both celebratory themes, this edition continues our year-long series on 'Africa's Sustainable Tourism Gems.'
