The African Journal of Sustainable Tourism (AJST), a pioneering academic journal committed to advancing knowledge and innovation in sustainable tourism across the African continent has just been launched.
According to Prof Uwe Hermann from the Tshwane University of Technology’s Department of Tourism Management, Faculty of Management Sciences the AJST will be a critical platform for scholars, practitioners and policymakers to share original, peer-reviewed research promoting responsible and inclusive tourism practices on the continent and in other developing countries.
The journal’s vision is Afrocentric, aiming to address the unique socio-cultural, economic and environmental dynamics that shape tourism development in the region, while also contributing to the achievement of the United National Sustainable Development Goals and beyond.
"Tourism is a powerful catalyst for sustainable development, but its potential in Africa remains underexplored. This journal is dedicated to showcasing African scholarship, amplifying local voices and fostering a dialogue that can drive real change in the industry," said Prof Uwe Hermann, Editor-in-Chief of the AJST.
