“…In our view, for the land restitution not to compromise conservation objectives, KTP should contribute to improving the lives of surrounding communities who now have land rights inside the park (see Dikgang and Muchapondwa, 2012, 2016). Accordingly, we contemplate that land restitution in KTP can potentially result in increased household income and thereby contribute towards relieving rural poverty and in promoting broad-based sustainable development.…”

Sharing conservation revenue with communities surrounding parks could demonstrate the link between ecotourism and local communities’ economic development, promote a positive view of land restitution involving parks, help address skewed distribution of income in the vicinity of parks and act as an incentive for local communities to participate in conservation even more. This article estimates the visitation demand function for Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (KTP) in order to determine the appropriate conservation fee to charge visitors to maximize park revenue. The data were generated from contingent behaviour experiments on South African residents at KTP and three other parks deemed as either substitutes or complements for visitors to KTP. Our results suggest that there is sheer underselling of the recreational opportunity at KTP, which implies that there is room for generating extra revenue to support benefit sharing arrangements with the local communities. The conservation fees at KTP can increase by as much as 115%, thereby almost doubling current revenue after accounting for the drop in visitation which will be triggered by the increase.

“…Economic development is of utmost important for the budding nations because they are more vulnerable with respect to poverty, corruption and unemployment (Santiago and Rossiter, 1985; Rogerson, 2004; Van Der Merwe and Burns, 2008; Muchapondwa and Sterner, 2012; Andrés and Asongu, 2013; Chisadza and Bittencourt, 2019). These ailments pose severe challenges for a nation to flourish economically (Ngwenya and Hassan, 2005; Barrientos et al ., 2016; Dikgang and Muchapondwa, 2016; Eyal and Burns, 2019). Contemporarily, economic development is linked with sustainable development (Mahadea, 2001; Beaudry and Portier, 2006; Mago and Toro, 2013; Ho, 2020; Kotze et al ., 2020).…”

Economic Development highlights the growth and progression of every nation towards prosperity, and South Africa is not an exception to this phenomenon. Present article reviews economic progression in South Africa for last 25 years of time by applying systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis (1,241 articles) on Scopus extracted database (1994 to 2019; until 06 June). Inferences evidence significant work contributed by top universities, authors, funding sources, journals and citation statistics. Noticeably, implementation of a concept solely will not fetch real situation; however, a systematic review extends good to excellent understanding of the considered research agenda. Findings reveal the contradictory inter-connectivity of Cluster 1 Economic Inequality and Poverty, Cluster 2 Developing Country and Corruption and Cluster 6 Economic Development and Economic Policy. It is very important to understand that if a nation is facing economic inequality, corruption, and poverty; how it can achieve the status of economically developed nation. Identification of Cluster 3 Industrialization and Industry 4.0, Cluster 4 Unemployment and Entrepreneurship Education and Cluster 5 Sustainable Development and Economic Growth signifies scope of improvement. Conclusively, the researcher has proposed a conceptual model to address above stated concerns.

“…In 1999, the two communities won the land claim and collectively own 50 000ha of land inside the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and 80 000ha of land outside the park (Thondhlana et al, 2015). The South African government built a lodge,!Xaus Lodge, inside the park as a means to involve the communities in wildlife tourism (Dikgang & Muchapondwa, 2016). Tsabong is a transit site for tourists visiting the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park on the Botswana entry (Manwa et al, 2017).…”

This study examines the effect of policies and institutional structures on the ability of communities to participate in wildlife tourism in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. The research utilized a qualitative approach with two case study sites being Askam (South Africa) and Tsabong (Botswana). The study incorporated 17 semistructured interviews with tourism stakeholders and 2 focus group discussions with members of the 2 communities, all of whom were purposely selected. It was found that although governing policies from the two countries were generally supportive, the specific park policies were seen to limit the contribution of wildlife tourism to communities' livelihood. Additionally, the institutional arrangements present in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park formed some barriers to community participation. Overall, the research provides insight on host community participation in wildlife tourism in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park using a cross-border perspective.
