| Resumo: | The number of sustainable tourism investment projects in African developing countries has grown dramatically in the last few years, motivated by the astonishing natural conditions and the demand for alternative models of tourism.

This communication identifies and analyses the cultural, social and business challenges that the social entrepreneur has to go through in his quest for a profitable tourism business model that brings real development to local communities. |
