Tourism can, of course, pose a risk to the natural and cultural resources of local communities. It is thus imperative that the development of tourism should include local communities from an early stage, as identified for example in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization “Tourism, culture and development in West Africa” Programme (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 2004). For instance, the production of handicrafts requires traditional knowledge22 and local materials but comparatively little finance or infrastructure. Similarly, the tourism sector has much demand for traditional music and tours of local areas, which depend on traditional knowledge and skills.
