Abstract

Globally the importance of the tourism sector for economic and sustainable development has already been acknowledged. Namibia is no exception. Endowed with natural beauty wildlife, deserts, and beautiful beaches the tourism sector is clearly acknowledged in the development policies and plans. Despite this, there are few comprehensive studies that deal with strategic aspects of neither the tourism sector nor frameworks to enhance innovative tourism for sustainable development. Due to such precincts and lack of comprehensive research, strategic management of tourism and its development to the fullest potential is difficult. Tourism is a powerful vehicle for economic growth and job creation is a reckoned global phenomenon. International tourist arrivals to SSA have been on increase making it one of the fastest-growing regions in the world. Hence, adopting an exploratory approach with a systematic literature review with contextual analysis this study aims to fill this gap and deliberates on the requisite strategic framework for innovative tourism and sustainable development in Namibia.

纳米比亚创新旅游和可持续发展战略框架

全球已经认识到旅游部门对经济和可持续发展的重要性。纳米比亚也不例外。拥有自然美景、野生动物、沙漠和美丽的海滩，旅游业在发展政策和规划中得到了明确的认可。尽管如此，很少有综合性研究既不涉及旅游部门的战略方面，也不涉及加强创新旅游促进可持续发展的框架。由于这些局限性和缺乏全面的研究，旅游业的战略管理和充分发挥其潜力是困难的。旅游业是经济增长的有力工具，创造就业机会是公认的全球现象。前往南南非的国际游客人数一直在增加，使其成为世界上增长最快的地区之一。因此，本研究采用探索性方法，结合系统文献综述和背景分析，旨在填补这一空白，并探讨纳米比亚创新旅游和可持续发展的必要战略框架。
