Zulu cultural traditions : a draw card for tourism in KwaZulu Natal with special reference to the Lebombo spatial development initiativeZibani, Armstrong Nkosenhle January 2002 (has links)
Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of IsiZulu at the University of Zululand, 2002. / The study aims at re-awakening the interest in the places of importance in
KwaZulu Natal, interest in the revival of the cultural traditions, the beliefs, food
preparations, crafts and being aware of the job opportunities offered by the
government's plans about the Lebombo Spatial Development Initiative (LSDI).
The underlying motive of the study is to create awareness that KwaZulu Natal is,
and forever will be a tourist attraction destination. It is aimed at encouraging the
people in their communities to be involved in one way or another in creating a
conducive atmosphere that will make tourists feel welcome in KwaZulu Natal.
The satisfied tourists will keep on coming back again and again which will in turn create job opportunities and result in alleviation of poverty and unemployment in
our province. Speaking of the benefits of tourism, Gill (1996: vi) says in his
preface;
Tourism today has been acknowledged as an industry, and both the
government and the private sector have planned tourism as an essential
component of their economics. For further development tourism needs
planning investment and scientific study.
This acknowledgement of tourism as a viable industry by the government has
been shown by our Government by structuring a number of Spatial Development
Initiatives, such as Lebombo SDI which is part of this study.
This study serves to show that there should be a link m a relationship between
history and tourism and that the two can work wonders in contributing towards
the development of the country's economy. Natural resources and the places of
historical importance make KwaZulu Natal the most attractive tourist destination
of the world, with its World Heritage site at St Lucia.
KwaZulu Natal offers everything in a rich variety - its mountains and bills,
valleys, scenic beauty, monuments and memorials, traditional arts and dances,
fairs and festivals and dozens of other precious things that make the country a
mosaic of living traditions.
So the objective of this study is to remind the people in their communities that, as
schools today speak of outcomes based education with its emphasis on
entrepreneurial skills and job creation rather than job-seeking, so does the
government speak of mobilizing communities to work together to bring about
change and better life for all its citizens. It is therefore the objective of this study
to make the communities aware that it is not too late to start being involved in
building our communities. Let us dream and have high hopes and visions for the
future of our province, our country and ultimately our future generations.

A Blueprint For Planning And Designing Staged-authentic Heritage Attractions In Small Island NationsLasten, Earney F. 01 January 2010 (has links)
The purpose of this largely qualitative study was to develop a blueprint for planning and designing a staged-authentic heritage tourist attraction for small island nations. Data were gathered and analyzed in three phases. In Phase I, existing and potential supply, demand, and external variables associated with staged-authentic heritage attractions were identified, and a preliminary planning model and conceptual framework was developed. In Phase II, the model was refined. A blueprint containing seven major questions and 26 sequential steps was developed. In Phase III, the blueprint was tested using focus groups and an online tourist survey in the Caribbean region (Aruba) in order to determine the extent to which it could be useful to those responsible for the development of staged-authentic heritage tourist attractions. It was concluded that (a) the devised blueprint is appropriate and effective for planning and designing a staged-authentic heritage attraction for small island nations, (b) the seven questions and 26 steps developed to support the methodological flowchart ensure attention to essential activities and events in the planning and designing of a staged-authentic heritage attraction, and (c) continuous collaboration among all stakeholders is required in planning and designing staged-authentic heritage attractions so as to ensure commitment of those who would be contributors, supporters, and developers of the project. Implications for the use of the blueprint and for staged-authentic heritage attractions were offered. Also presented were recommendations for future research.
