Abstract:

This chapter discusses consumptive wildlife tourism in Namibia, placing emphasis on the economics of the trophy hunting and recreational shore angling niches and on some of their social and environmental short- and long-term implications. The economic value, impacts, contribution to development, and social and environmental characteristics of these two uses are compared. Both trophy hunting and coastal angling have important contributions to make to Namibian tourism, and Namibian development. They occupy niches, which are complementary in tourism, i.e., they do not displace other non-consumptive tourism activities but add to them.
