ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Cape Town's tourism sector is growing putting pressure on the coastal SES. To prevent coastal degradation and an economic downturn, coastal resilience to tourism impacts needs to be increased. Flexible Management strategies are required. Therefore, South Africa implemented ICZM to manage mutually exclusive activities and transforming coastal poverty into sustainable coastal livelihoods. Although the ICZM system is well thought out, a lot of weaknesses and challenges have been identified, mainly relating to the local implementation. The coast is managed with prevailing political interests, wherefore the benefits of a resilient SES are unfairly distributed. However, as the coast constitutes an essential livelihood of many Capetonians, sustainable management including education and awareness raising among both tourists and inhabitants is needed. This thesis elaborates on a complementation of ICZM and Responsible Tourism as both approaches strive for the same targets. Thus, the environmental, social, and economic circumstances in Cape Town might be improved.
