This report presents an analysis of the implementation and results of the SWITCH Africa Green programme in the tourism sector focusing on the participating countries Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, South Africa and Uganda. It covers the strategic interventions on sustainable tourism such as sustainable consumption and production patterns in hotels, promoting community based tourism (CBT) practices and promoting inclusive business and eco entrepreneurship in the tourism industry (ecotourism). It analyses the results realised, cross cutting issues, challenges, lessons learnt and presents a set of recommendations. The report is informed by a SWITCH Africa Green programme survey carried out in May 2018, grantee reports, case studies, peer reviews and regional stakeholder consultations including a regional sector meeting held 29-30 October 2019 in Kigali, Rwanda. The report is one of four sector reports, one for each of the priority sectors of the programme: agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and integrated waste management (IWM).
