ABSTRACT

The paper examines the imports of nature and the impacts of tourism development initiatives in Musina Municipality, Limpopo, South Africa. Data was garnered via questionnaire surveys, interviews, focus group discussions, document reviews, and physical observations. The study revealed the plentiful nature of tourism potential, manifesting both actual and potential tourism initiatives. However, tourism benefits to the locals were not forthcoming. Musina Municipality is one of the aridest areas in the far north of Limpopo province, South Africa. Rural communities’ poor livelihood conditions are prevalent. Despite its hinterland qualities, it occupies a largely tourism-based segment in the Vhembe District. Matters of tourism and local economic development have become a more widely studied topic in the past years. Nonetheless, few studies have investigated the synergies between various components and forms of tourism services in rural areas to advance the local communities.

摘要

本文研究了南非林波波省穆西纳市的自然进口和旅游业发展举措的影响。数据是通过问卷调查、访谈、焦点小组讨论、文件审查和实物观察收集的。该研究揭示了旅游潜力的丰富性，体现了实际和潜在的旅游举措。然而，当地居民的旅游业并没有带来好处。穆西纳市是南非林波波省最北部最干旱的地区之一。农村地区普遍存在生活条件差的现象。尽管其腹地性质，它占据了 Vhembe 区主要以旅游业为基础的部分。近年来，旅游业和地方经济发展问题已成为更广泛研究的话题。尽管如此，
