Towards the Application of Inclusive Indigenous Pedagogies in Tourism Education in South Africa: Indigenous-Related Case Studies
Abstract
The adoption of inclusive indigenous pedagogies in tourism education marks an important turn in the direction of a learning strategy that is more comprehensive, culturally sensitive, and sustainable. This chapter explores the efficient integration of indigenous knowledge systems, which have been suppressed in traditional education for a long time, into tourism curricula to improve students' comprehension of community-driven tourism and cultural preservation. Tourism curricula should build stronger links between students and the local contexts in which tourism functions by fusing indigenous epistemologies. The adoption of an Afrocentric approach in tourism education signifies a paradigm shift in the future direction that embraces African worldviews, values, and epistemologies. the chapter will further unpack curriculum development insights and demonstrate how the application of inclusive pedagogies can enhance tourism education and contribute to decolonizing education in South Africa.
