Outline of Final Research Achievements

The new trend of African tourism in which the tourism industry and development program are integrated and promoted as a ‘project’ with objectives such as ‘nature conservation’, ‘cultural preservation’ and ‘poverty reduction’ is conceptualised as ‘project-style tourism’. It has become clear that ‘project-style tourism’ (i) involves an unprecedentedly diverse range of actors in local communities and that nature and culture are regarded as tourism resources; (ii) maintains, transforms and re-creates social boundaries around minority ethnic communities; and (iii) on the other hand, fixes the peripheral status of minority ethnic communities and fragments within the societies.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

観光産業と開発支援の複合というアフリカの新潮流を、「プロジェクト型観光」という概念を用いることで包括にとらえることに成功し、その進行が少数民族社会にもたらす正負のインパクトを地域の文脈に即して明らかにすることができた。この成果を、アフリカ地域研究や観光学の分野に新たな知見をもたらすとともに、日本やアフリカにおける観光や地域開発に携わる人々・組織とも共有することができた。
