With a more vibrant economy, enhanced digital capability, a growing middle class and overall growth, Africa is poised to attract more tourism flows and investments in the 21st century. However, while such a macroclimate is positive, on a localised scale, there are myriad issues to contend with: wildlife conversation crises (e.g. poaching, dwindling numbers of lions), climate change risks, the threat of terrorism and an unstable political climate in some parts. To deal with these daunting but not insurmountable challenges, integrated and synergistic interventions by African governments to ensure sustainable tourism growth and peak tourist experiences will be paramount.","PeriodicalId":182341,"journal":{"name":"Positive Tourism in Africa","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128998307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter uses a postcolonial theoretical framework to explore how digital counter-narratives increasingly challenge longstanding Afro-pessimistic stereotypes, engendering in the process what may be termed the ‘Afro-positive turn’. The negative stereotypes of Africa have ramifications for the continent’s tourism performance as they affect African countries’ destination image and attractiveness. Findings reveal that digital counter-narratives undermine Afro-pessimistic images of Africa by focusing on ‘everyday Africa’, exposing one-sidedness and correcting misconceptions. The chapter proposes more Afro-positive/Afro-optimistic scholarship, especially in the hopeful context of ‘Africa rising’, to create a sense of hope and dignity for the continent and its peoples.","PeriodicalId":182341,"journal":{"name":"Positive Tourism in Africa","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127249880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this chapter, we extend this line of research by incorporating the concept of economic wellbeing to tourism research in Africa. The chapter explores the effect of tourism on economic wellbeing for 44 African countries for the period 1995-2015 using fully modified least square method. The empirical evidence shows there is a strong, positive and statistically significant relationship between tourism and economic wellbeing, indicating that increased tourism is associated with increased economic wellbeing. The evidence also indicates bi-directional causal linkages between tourism and economic wellbeing in the short and long run, implying that tourism leads to economic wellbeing while economic wellbeing also leads to the expansion of tourist activities both in the short and long run. The chapter therefore contributes to a deeper understanding of tourism as an important factor for the economic wellbeing of destination countries.","PeriodicalId":182341,"journal":{"name":"Positive Tourism in Africa","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116077876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in the scholarly debate, the hunter’s perspective has largely been overlooked, or at best, hunters have been surveyed and categorised according to their motivations, satisfactions and other such reductionist dimensions. In contrast, this chapter presents a discourse analysis of hunters’ social media posts, with the goal of understanding how they rationalise their controversial pastime, and the implications for animal ethics in wildlife tourism. The discursive social media approach is timely, as it taps into naturally occurring online exchanges that shed new light on the elusive trophy hunter mindset, an object of enduring curiosity.","PeriodicalId":182341,"journal":{"name":"Positive Tourism in Africa","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128437897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
