Wiederum ein wichtiger Beitrag von Andrea Böhm die in der @zeitonline auf die aktuellen Proteste der Ngorongoro-Maasai gegen Vertreibung aufmerksam macht. Die Verbindung von conservation und Tourismus geht schon lange auf Kosten der Maasai.

@sax_lt Liebes Team von @sax_lt Gute Und wichtig Initiative. Das sind schon sehr CDU-nahe Beispiele für Demos und Auseinandersetzungen die da genannt werden. Das hätte breiter sein können.

More #tourismhistory: It is an age-old question in travel literature: Are you a tourist or a traveller? Find some answers in the 1983 volume of "Der Trotter", the German Globetrotter magazine. :)
As it is holiday time, I thought to post some bits of my work on tourism in Kenya: In the early 1980s German speaking tourists grew in such large numbers the Kenyan newspaper Coastweek always featured at least one page in German - and sometimes even a whole special issue. [1/4]
The touristification of the coast came with opportunities and challenges for the local population. Coastweek frequently reported about racist hotel policies which barred single black women to enter hotels - as they were considered prostitutes. [3/4]
The portal “Collections from Colonial Contexts” is online now! It offers centralised access to currently more than 100,000 items of 26 institutions.

Kenyan Police forces have killed protesters of #REJECTFINANCEBİLL2024 near the parliament. This must end now. @GermanyinKenya and @Diplo_Jazz I hope you are adressing Kenyan officials to stop the violence.
