Effectiveness of responsible tourism guidelines in the hotel sector.

Thesis (MTech. degree in Tourism And Hospitality Management)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2011. / Responsible tourism was adopted as a management strategy for the tourism industry (the hotel sector included) with a view to address the social, economic and environmental impacts of this industry. Responsible tourism guidelines were formulated by the South African government through the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT) with a view to ensure adherence to the concept of responsible tourism by the sector. The study confirmed that hotels were indeed knowledgeable regarding responsible tourism; were implementing most of the guidelines that were formulated by DEAT; and found these guidelines useful and effective in their operations.
