Through the lens of African emerging economies, this text examines empirical studies and the related practices of agritourism.

By looking at tourism innovation, entrepreneurship ethics and responsibility of public and private organizational stakeholders, the text promotes an understanding of how radical novel sustainable agritourism might be implemented to help society's living become more sustainable with low usage of material resources, low energy and environmental cost.

Informed by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework, which emphasize the fostering of novel sustainable agritourism, the book includes:

- methodologies, theory, reviews, primary research findings and practice

- topics such as start-ups, legal aspects, CSR and digital technologies

- techniques and tools with global application

The book will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students interested in the challenges of sustainable agritourism and African emerging economies.
