Rethinking Indigeneity

Cultural heritage is one of the most pervasive tourism assets worldwide and lies at the foundations of tourism in many localities, including Africa. However, despite its salience, there has not been a systematic examination of Africa’s heritage resources, markets, policies, practices, successes, and challenges in a tourism framework, despite the continent’s immense heritage value. There is an increasing potential for the growth of cultural tourism throughout the entire continent of Africa and the way in which they have together become major drivers of destination attractiveness and competitiveness.

In this edition, we show how a strong link between tourism and culture can be fostered to help African countries become more attractive to tourists, as well as increasing their competitiveness as locations which to live, visit, work and invest.

On page 13, we take a quick glance at Mozambique – a paradise with breath-taking tropical beaches. Khosi Ncube – a new addition to our editorial team, had lots of fun exploring the Maldives. It was an experience of a lifetime for her and she gave details into her seven days adventure on page 20. On page 26, Wendel Nolan highlights the disappearing side of Kenya. In a special feature by same Wendel, we delved into the bitter truth behind Madagascar’s Vanilla trade. Why is Nigeria considered an untapped destination? Check out more details on page 60.

As with any journey, we have experienced many highs and some inevitable lows in the long trek to becoming the present day Nomad Africa. Our aim is to continue with broadening our African footprint and positioning ourselves as a standard conscious media company that prides itself with contributing to the economic development of the African continent. This is a noble course which we can only achieve with your continuous support.
