Competing for tourists at Victoria Falls: A historical consideration of the effects of government involvement

A long-standing transnational struggle over tourism development at Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls has been shaped by competing government policies, revealing the complex interplay between commercial and spiritual interests. This historical analysis demonstrates how colonial and post-colonial governments in Zambia and Zimbabwe have alternately promoted and stifled tourism, influencing the site's status as one of southern Africa's earliest tourist destinations. The study employs a historical perspective to trace these dynamics, highlighting the border dispute's impact on tourism policies and outcomes.
