Abstract: | This article examines the local impacts of dive tourism in a South African case study, namely Sodwana Bay in Maputaland, KwaZulu-Natal
province. Using extensive primary research interviews with key tourism stakeholders and local product owners, dive tourism
at Sodwana Bay is considered an example of niche tourism in small-town South Africa. It is argued that opportunities exist
for extending local pro-poor impacts if several challenges are addressed concerning improved skill levels, the institutional
environment and extending local small business opportunities. |
