I am not sure this 1964 Kenyan campaign equipling tourists with a “be nice to me”-card was a great idea…😀

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.

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. :)

@elizabethm_ward @erhochman Can’t see the original post sorry

@saita_bau @Tum001Ke You are welcome. I have not encountered tgus magazine. Who published it?

[Mathias Hack @HackMatze]

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]

[Mathias Hack @HackMatze]

@Tum001Ke is currently digitising the Coastweek newspaper. Large parts can already be accessed here - https://t.co/PQrKlK4wi4

[Mathias Hack @HackMatze]

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]

@StePoggi Dear @StePoggi is there a summary somewhere of what will be cut by Meloni?

@elizabethm_ward At the moment everything is overpriced due to the olympics, but this is usually in the affordable range https://t.co/CCP92NSqan

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.

“Why are you beating us?” Female protesters cry out after they were assaulted by police officers outside Parliament Buildings
