How large a share of Botswana's economy did tourism represent before 2020?

Tourism was Botswana's second largest earner after diamonds, contributing roughly a tenth of output. The sector collapsed during the pandemic and recovered only from 2022.

Define tourism leakage.

Leakage is the share of tourist spending that leaves the destination country. Payments to foreign airlines, foreign tour operators and for imported food all count.

What was Ghana's Year of Return?

The Year of Return was a 2019 campaign inviting the African diaspora to visit Ghana. The programme marked 400 years since the first recorded enslaved Africans reached Virginia.

Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

1
Why is tourism attractive as a development strategy?
Model answer
Tourism earns foreign currency and creates jobs that need little formal qualification. The sector also sells landscape and wildlife, which cannot be exported.
2
Describe Botswana's high-value low-volume tourism policy.
Model answer
Botswana charges high prices and limits visitor numbers in the Okavango Delta and Chobe. The policy raises revenue per tourist while holding ecological pressure down.
3
Give one drawback of the high-value low-volume model.
Model answer
Few local people can enter a market dominated by expensive foreign-owned camps. Employment for citizens is largely confined to guiding, catering and camp maintenance.
4
How large a share of Botswana's economy did tourism represent before 2020?
Model answer
Tourism was Botswana's second largest earner after diamonds, contributing roughly a tenth of output. The sector collapsed during the pandemic and recovered only from 2022.
5
Define tourism leakage.
Model answer
Leakage is the share of tourist spending that leaves the destination country. Payments to foreign airlines, foreign tour operators and for imported food all count.
6
What was Ghana's Year of Return?
Model answer
The Year of Return was a 2019 campaign inviting the African diaspora to visit Ghana. The programme marked 400 years since the first recorded enslaved Africans reached Virginia.
