Abstract

Rural tourism provides an alternative for tourists from traditional sun and sea destinations. For many tourists, rural tourism provides the opportunity to experience authentic socio-cultural experiences of smaller areas in countries. The chapter alludes to different types of rural tourism. The results of two township studies in South Africa provide insights into tourists and resident's perspective of township tours. The unique nature of rural tourism as well as the opportunities and challenges associated with it, are discussed. The chapter provides perspectives regarding the management of rural destinations to balance social, economic, and environmental costs and benefits of these areas.
