| dc.description.abstract | The tourism industry has been identified as a potential vehicle for
economic development and poverty alleviation in Sub-Sahara Africa.
However, hitherto, countries have been pursuing their respective
tourism development agendas with limited degree of regional
integration. This study, therefore, employs a multiple case study
approach to explore tourism stake holders’ views on a regional
approach to tourism development within the Inter-Governmental
Authority on Development (IGAD) region. Through critical review of
literature and semi-structured in-depth interviews with key
stakeholders, the study establishes that a regional framework would
present feasible opportunities to overcoming the challenges facing
the development of the sector, though fears of dominance by the
relatively mature destinations are a potential obstacle to its
implementation. This study concludes that such fears are unfounded
and that a regional approach to tourism development in the IGAD
region could enhance the competitiveness of member states and of
the region as a whole. | en_US |
