I am not sure this 1964 Kenyan campaign equipling tourists with a “be nice to me”-card was a great idea…😀 #tourism #Kenya

Wiederum ein wichtiger Beitrag von Andrea Böhm die in der @zeitonline auf die aktuellen Proteste der Ngorongoro-Maasai gegen Vertreibung aufmerksam macht. Die Verbindung von conservation und Tourismus geht schon lange auf Kosten der Maasai. zeit.de/politik/ausland/2024…

Proteste in Tansania: Ärger im Paradies

Tansania lockt Touristen aus aller Welt mit grandiosen Naturwundern. Auch auf Kosten der einheimischen Bevölkerung. Nun wehren sich die Maasai.

As it is holiday time, I thought to post some bits of my work on tourism in Kenya: In the early 1980s German speaking tourists grew in such large numbers the Kenyan newspaper Coastweek always featured at least one page in German - and sometimes even a whole special issue. [1/4]

The touristification of the coast came with opportunities and challenges for the local population. Coastweek frequently reported about racist hotel policies which barred single black women to enter hotels - as they were considered prostitutes. [3/4]

Kenyan Police forces have killed protesters of #REJECTFINANCEBİLL2024 near the parliament. This must end now. @GermanyinKenya and @Diplo_Jazz I hope you are adressing Kenyan officials to stop the violence.
