II Abstract The tourism industry in sub-Saharan Africa has been experiencing one of the fastest growth rates in the last decade at more than 10% in 2006, +7% in 2007 and +5% in 2008 and 2009 respectively and this positive trend is predicted to continue in future in spite of the present global recession. However, there are significant variations in tourism growth between the various countries and different sub-regions. Until now, there has been no detailed examination by researchers to find out the reasons for these variations in general and the stagnation and even decline in tourism growth observed in countries of the Central African sub-region in particular, which have recognised natural and socio-cultural potentials of developing a thriving sustainable tourism industry. Using Cameroon as a case study, this research examines the reasons of this stagnation in the Central African sub-region, and explores the possibility of tailoring, adapting and/or applying the key concepts of sustainable tourism in developing and managing the tourism industry in the Central African sub-region which is still at an early stage of development through the conception of a strategic framework for sustainable tourism development management in Cameroon. The principal objectives of the thesis are: a. To identify and outline the growth potential of the tourism industry in Cameroon as a means of improving the socio-economic conditions of the local communities. b. To examine the contradictions and challenges facing the development of a viable sustainable tourism industry in Cameroon. c. To determine how far sustainable tourism concepts successfully applied in other countries can be adapted and used in developing and managing the tourism potential of Cameroon in particular, and its sub-region. The research philosophy is interpretive and it adopts the case study (which is both exploratory and descriptive) as the research strategy. Mixed methods were used in collecting data for this research which combines both the deductive and inductive approaches, the former being the secondary approach and the latter being the primary. Primary data was obtained through a tourist satisfaction questionnaire, in- depth semi-structured interviews and field observations while secondary quantitative data was collected from existing published literature on (sustainable) tourism, grey literature and unpublished documents from the Ministry of Tourism as well as the III Ministry of Forestry and Fauna in Cameroon. The questionnaire data was analysed with the aid of the SPSS (Version 15) statistical package, and a thematic content analysis was done of the interview transcripts and observation notes. The results of the data analysis not only answer the research objectives and questions, but also identify core and enabling themes affecting the management of the development of a sustainable tourism industry in Cameroon. These include issues dealing with the overall tourism policy, finance, tourism promotion and marketing, stakeholder relationships, service infrastructure, human resource development, as well as national and sub-regional peace and stability. Drawing from theoretical and successfully implemented practical models of sustainable (tourism) development in other developing destinations, the study concludes by proposing a strategic framework for sustainable tourism development management in Cameroon as well as suggestions for future research. IV Acknowledgement This thesis is dedicated to my family – my parents Pa Nicodemus Kimbu and Ma Mary Kimbu and my wife Lana Kimbu who have always believed in me. Special thanks to them for their patience, encouragement and unwavering support throughout my studies. I would like to express my sincere gratitude and utmost respect to my Director of Studies, the Reverend Professor Myra Shackley for her steadfast and unwavering support, advice and guidance throughout my PhD. She was not only an excellent supervisor but a moral pillar on which I could lean on all through the course of the research and a living example to emulate. I am also very grateful to Dr Carley Foster, my second supervisor for her unwavering support and keen insights provided throughout the research. Special thanks also go to Dr Mark Weinstein and Dr Matt Henn for their comments and advice on my research and for not throwing me out in spite of me constantly and sometimes unceremoniously barging into their offices. I am deeply indebted to the officials of the Ministries of Tourism and Culture, tour operators, cultural managers and conservators of national parks and the palaces I visited, for their hospitality and unwavering support during my enriching fieldtrip to Cameroon. I would like to thank all the other participants not mentioned above for their contribution without which it would not have been impossible for this study to be accomplished. Finally, I wish to express my sincere thanks to the Nottingham Trent University for the VC research award which financed my research at NTU.

    Globaler Airline-Newsletter von Berlinspotter.de Sehr geehrte Leser, Hiermit erhalten Sie als PDF die europäischen und globalen Airline-News aus dem Bearbeitungszeitraum 2. bis 15. April – unterteilt in die Update-Blöcke der Premium- Version (ein Wechsel ist jederzeit möglich). Ich danke Ihnen für die Unterstützung des einzigen deutschsprachigen Luftfahrt- Newsletter. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Oliver Pritzkow Webmaster Berlinspotter.de --- 5.4. --- EUROPA Aegean Airlines stellte eine 737-300 (SX-BGW, msn 29264) außer Dienst. Sie ging an Deutsche Structured Finance zurück. Im Gegenzug übernahm man einen werksneuen Airbus A320-200 (SX-DVM, msn 3439). Air Baltic erhielt eine ex-Air Berlin 737-300 (YL-BBJ, msn 30333) per Leasing von Boullioun Aviation Services. Air Berlin bekommt einen neuen Großaktionär. Access Industries wird den Anteil der Vatas-Tochter Haarlem One in Höhe von 18,56 % übernehmen. Vatas war erst im Januar 2008 bei Air Berlin eingestiegen und hatte ihren Anteil rasch erhöht. Allerdings liegt das Aktienpaket derzeit bei der NordLB. Diese hatte vom Pfandrecht Gebrauch gemacht und sich als Sicherheit für geplatzte Aktiengeschäfte mit Vatas dieses Paket geholt. Access Industries gehört dem russischstämmigen US-Milliardär Leonard Blawatnik. Weitere Beteiligungen sind der british-russische Ölförderer TNK- BP sowie der russische Aluminiumkonzern Rusal. Die Air Berlin-Aktie legte zunächst um fast 10 5 % zu, nachdem sie erst wenige Tage zuvor aufgrund einer gesenkten Gewinnprognose einbrach. Als die Pfändung des Aktienpakets bekannt wurde, sank sie auf 5 %. Air France nahm am 1. April die erste Route unter dem neuen USA-Europa- OpenSky-Abkommen auf. Vom Flughafen London Heathrow hob man in Kooperation mit Partner Delta Air Lines zum ersten Direktflug nach Los Angeles ab.

  • Community-Based Tourism in the South West Region of Cameroon: Opportunities and Challenges for Women
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 21, Issue 3, Ver. II (Mar. 2016) PP 109-116 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Community-Based Tourism in the South West Region of Cameroon: Opportunities and Challenges for Women Dorothy Forsac-Tata Lecturer in the Department of Women and Gender Studies, University of Buea, Cameroon Abstract: Cameroon like many other sub-Saharan African countries has identified tourism as a sector that can enhance the development of local communities by creating jobs and encouraging income-generating activities. This is expected to help reduce poverty and empower local communities. The challenge, however has been to integrate gender concerns into the tourism industry so that both men and women can benefit equally. Using empirical data, this paper addresses the challenges women face in taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the tourism industry to reduce poverty and empower themselves. The paper identifies gender issues, cultural and traditional dictates, low education, limited knowledge of their rights as the major challenges that affect women’s participation in and benefits from community-based tourism. The paper further identifies rural women’s project that can be transformed and sustained as part of the tourism industry. The paper concludes that unless gender is employed as a unit of analysis in the design and conception of local tourism projects in Cameroon, women’s empowerment and poverty reduction through community-based tourism remains a myth. Keywords: Community-based, tourism, opportunities, challenges I. Introduction The main aim of this research is to identify and highlight challenges that women face in benefitting from projects that are not gender sensitive.

  • ABSTRACT KC, BIRENDRA. Examining Networks, Social Capital
    ABSTRACT KC, BIRENDRA. Examining Networks, Social Capital, and Social Influence among Wildlife Tourism Microentrepreneurs in Coastal North Carolina. (Under the direction of Duarte B. Morais). Social networks are an important element of entrepreneurship because entrepreneurs consistently rely on those networks to access ideas, information, and resources to facilitate the entrepreneurial process. Social capital is defined as the collective linkages inside social networks and the value of all the tangible and intangible resources embedded in those networks. Extensive social capital is argued to have significant positive impact on entrepreneurial success, in part because dimensions of cognitive social capital, such as trust, reciprocity, and togetherness are expected to enhance cooperation among network ties. Moreover, network structures themselves foster the development of different forms of social capital (i.e., bonding and bridging). The literature on small-scale tourism enterprises is limited, although they are prevalent globally and often touted as a critical strategy for natural resource-rich communities to pursue endogenous economic development. This study was carried out in North Carolina’s Pamlico Sound region, a region with rich wildlife resources yet with high economic disparity, to examine the network developed among local wildlife tourism (WT) microentrepreneurs. Specifically, this study examined the WT microentrepreneurs’ network structure based on the types of support exchanged with each other; the forms of bonding or bridging network structure and key influencers within the network; the extent and type of network ties (strong versus weak ties) developed among them; the process they use to form and nurture those ties; and the effect of social influence on trust, reciprocity, and togetherness exerted through network structure.
