Abstract

Tourism is widely considered to be a vector for inclusive growth and poverty alleviation in Africa. However, within an increasingly constrained global foreign direct investment market, financing tourism-led growth has become a major challenge. To this end, development finance has now become a critical linchpin in the financing of socio-economic development oriented tourism growth initiatives for developing nations. This article discusses the potential role of Blended Finance in particular, as a government-led intervention aimed at mitigating the financing deficit within Sub-Saharan Africa’s tourism industry and as a primer for foreign direct investment-led tourism growth and development in Sub-Saharan Africa.
