Q1 What are possible benefits of #tourism to rural communities in Africa? #sttachangemakers
Thankful for rare opportunity to work with my Dad on a project. His instructions were that it had to reach the printer before his 91st birthday (today) and it did. 4 years and 891 pages later it reached the printer on Friday. Books should be out in 3 weeks Soft and Hard Cover.
Today we discuss #backpacking.
It is a distinct category of #tourism, mostly relates to budget travel. Backpackers are in every part of the world, in both rural & urban areas.
Q1-Is the backpacker market segment attractive for emerging #African destinations?
