Locating Opportunities for Outdoor Action and Adventure Recreation and Tourism in the Western Cape: A GIS Application
In his journal article, Johannes H. Van Der Merwe demonstrates
how GIS is used to create a model for entrepreneurial and regulatory planning.
The subject area for the article is the Western Cape Province of South Africa,
“a premier tourism destination”. Recreation, marketing and tourist preference
data was collected and given spatial attributes. The data was then analyzed by
creating a weighted overlay map of the area. Planners and entrepreneurs are now
able to use the results of the analysis to help them make better decisions for
developing future recreation and ecotourisim attractions.
