What is a tourist enclave?

Tourism enclaves are the product of the immature stage of tourism development. Enclave tourism includes tourist resorts, cruise tankers, theme parks and other different types of tourist destinations, of which enclave resorts are the main type.

Because enclave tourism implies the control of capital flows and tourism flows from developed countries on tourism in developing countries, enclave tourism cannot play its due role in promoting the economic development of developing countries and has a negative impact on local communities. and residents have limited contributions and make tourism development in developing countries economically, socio-culturally and environmentally unsustainable.

In enclave tourism, most tourist facilities are controlled by external capital, so the ownership and control of external capital is an important feature. In enclave tourism, the source of tourists is mainly international tourists from developed countries. For example, in the Botswana Delta region, most photography tourists come from Europe, North America, New Zealand/Australia and South Africa, while hunting tourists mainly come from developing countries such as the United States, Spain and Italy.
