Tourism is a known rural economic development tool. Furthermore, sustainable tourism seeks to enhance the quality of the resident lives through its economic benefits, among others. One way of diversification economic bases in rural areas is through community-driven tourism projects (CDTP). The tourism projects provide a livelihood strategy to the communities who are involved in the projects. This study makes an attempt to build an understanding of the economic contribution of community-driven tourism projects to sustainable livelihoods. The study draws on a qualitative survey carried out in South Africa’s Makuleke contractual Park Community Project. The study utilized the community capital framework (CCF) to examine the community tourism economic capitals’ (CTEC) contribution to the community livelihoods. The study also investigated on the ripple effect of the economic capital towards other capitals within the community. Thematic content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data while descriptive statistics were used to analyze the demographic data. Findings indicate that through the Makuleke Contractual Park (MCP) tourism project, the community benefited economically in terms of employment and creation of small & medium tourism related enterprises which provided a livelihood strategy for the community. Through the projects’ partnerships with private investors, there was a ripple effect from the economic capital contribution to other community capitals (physical, human, social and natural). Community-driven tourism projects (CDTP) if well managed can transform community capital resources to economic multipliers which can be a livelihood strategy for the community.

“…However, many protected area managers worldwide have multiple and sometimes conflicting goals in their hands, making it difficult to ensure that communities are involved and benefit and protected from overtourism (Leung et al 2018, p. 2). One component of successful revenue-sharing systems in protected areas is community involvement in decision-making (Spenceley et al 2017). A new transformative relationship with nature has been perceived as a path to recovery after the global tourism crisis, and the European Union, among other regions, has signalled its intention to embrace this opportunity (Hockings et al 2020, p. 15).…”

“…So far, extensive research has been conducted on various aspects of overtourism, including its impacts on destination residents (Cheer et al 2020;Cheung and Li 2019;Goodwin 2017;Milano 2017;Milano et al 2019a;Muler Gonzalez et al 2018;Perkumienė and Pranskūnienė 2019;Sari and Nazli 2020), nature-based and protected area tourism (Chung et al 2018;Hockings et al 2020;Leung et al 2018;Mandić 2019;Spenceley et al 2017) in overtourism context (Koščak et al 2020). Also, there is a rich base of research on local communities in tourism (Fiorello and Bo 2012;Lopes et al 2015) as well as on human and community well-being (Cloutier Cloutier et al 2019;Sarkki 2017), its connection to nature (Azara et al 2018;Naidoo et al 2019;Sandifer et al 2015) and tourism (Dwyer 2020;Musikanski et al 2019).…”

Mediterranean Protected Areas in the Era of Overtourism

This chapter aims to provide a general overview of overtourism relatedimpacts on local communities' well-being in nature-based tourism destinations. It emphasises the interdependencies of multiple stakeholder groups and the need for their collaboration to address the contemporary challenges. To deliver our conclusions, we analyse the Mediterranean area and survey relevant literature addressing overtourism with particular attention paid to the nature-based tourism destinations and local communities' well-being. The recent literature relates the concept of overtourism with detrimental effects on the destination level. While the tourism-induced environmental and economic impacts have been extensively addressed in the relevant literature, the sociocultural impact, especially in the context of European protected areas, remained unattended. Thus, this chapter focuses on the impacts of overtourism on local communities and their quality of life and well-being. Protected areas in vibrant tourism regions, especially those near the coast, need management approaches that will enable usage-protection equilibrium and local communities' well-being. They often represent a setting for communities' rites, rituals, customs, and traditions associated with their spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental health. The overuse by the tourism industry can disrupt the essence of the locale. In these fragile but complex ecosystems, local communities often take on the indispensable responsibility of nature protection stewardship. Therefore, nature-based tourism development should be based on its capacity to annul and prevent the negative impacts of overtourism, especially in the context of local communities. This chapter builds upon scholarly and managerial perspectives to foster the understanding of overtourism-related challenges and discuss potential responses in the Mediterranean protected areas.
