“…South Africa is increasingly receiving significant numbers of visitors who are interested in township tourism (Booyens, 2010). Township tourism typically involves visitors travelling to poverty-stricken areas to see how the people live (Nemasetoni & Rogerson, 2017). Since township tourism tends to attract a relatively small share of the tourism market, this form of tourism is recommended for destinations that either have no resources or wish to develop into a mass tourism destination (Rogerson, 2005).…”

Rural tourism provides an alternative for tourists from traditional sun and sea destinations. For many tourists, rural tourism provides the opportunity to experience authentic socio-cultural experiences of smaller areas in countries. The chapter alludes to different types of rural tourism. The results of two township studies in South Africa provide insights into tourists and resident's perspective of township tours. The unique nature of rural tourism as well as the opportunities and challenges associated with it, are discussed. The chapter provides perspectives regarding the management of rural destinations to balance social, economic, and environmental costs and benefits of these areas.

This review paper assesses the role of tour operators towards sustaining ecotourism in Tanzania. The motive behind it is based on the argument that tour operators have an important role within the ecotourism multi-stakeholder. However, little has been documented on how best to engage them for sustainable ecotourism. Thus, this paper provides a concise overview of the relevant literature, highlighting existing knowledge and gaps for prospective future research. In addition to the literature review and methods, the result section of the paper is organized in such a way that it elaborates on key concepts and provides the setup and organization of tour operators. As a core part of the review, this study underlined four key roles of tour operators towards sustainable ecotourism: their involvement in planning, development, promotion, and implementation of ecotourism products. The study concluded that ecotourism supporting and regulating machinery must work closely and strategically with tour operators at the individual level or through their existing tourism associations in order to ensure that those four identified areas are effectively and efficiently carried out, not only to enhance their business but also to conserve and market the destination sites and contribute to the country's revenue.
