Episode 466 - Peet Van Der Merwe || The Economics Of Hunting Tourism in Africa

Peet Van Der Merwe is a senior lecturer on tourism economics at Northwestern University in South Africa. Peet has dedicated much of his career to studying the economic impacts of consumptive (hunting) tourism, tourism writ-large, and how they benefit the region. So, if hunting disappeared, what would happen to the economy and wildlife conservation? Its an important question to ask and get answered because value is the thing that will keep wildlife around for many generations to come. Robbie delves deep with Peet to talk about it. If you LOVE the SHOW don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts to make sure you don't miss a single episode.
