TOURISM AND RACIAL DISCRIMINATION: EVIDENCE FROM APARTHEID JOHANNESBURG

Racial discrimination in tourism has garnered only a limited scholarship with most research concentrated on the United States experience. Apartheid South Africa provides the setting for this examination of racial discrimination in tourism. Using archival sources the unfolding of racial discrimination in tourism is documented for apartheid Johannesburg. Attention centres on issues surrounding discrimination regarding visitor attractions and raciallysegregated hospitality services including for accommodation and eating-out options. The study is novel in contributing to the limited historical writings outside the USA on issues of racial discrimination in urban tourism.
