TY - THES AU - Brand, Tamara T1 - Challenges and Opportunities in Promoting Sustainable Tourism in the KAZA Area through Binding Standards for Sustainable Lodges DA - 2019 CY - Chur PB - Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft HTW Chur A3 - Baumgartner, Christian AB - The non-profit association Futouris is committed to a sustainable development of the travel industry. This is mainly realised through various projects around the world. One of these projects was implemented with the introduction of a binding standard for sustainable lodges in the coherent Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. However, to ensure the long-term benefits of such initiatives, ongoing revisions and improvements are essential. Thus, this bachelor thesis assesses the entire project and provides a concrete guideline for its continuation. Based on a broad literature research and expert interviews, both the implementation and the results are evaluated. The benefits for the individual stakeholders are discussed and the challenges during and after the implementation of the project are identified. On the basis of these findings, the bachelor thesis elaborates future approaches for the further course of the project and presents possible suggestions for improvement.
