This research assessed the local community’s participation in protected area-based tourism planning at Majete Wildlife Reserve in Malawi. The assessment was based on the participatory planning elements from the community participation framework for protected area-based tourism planning. A qualitative research approach was applied, and both secondary and primary data sources were used. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. Results show that the reserve has a system that allows continuous local community participation in the planning process, with financial resources committed to support the process. Local people are represented by independent community-based organisations and traditional leaders during the planning processes. But the local communities have limited access to tourism information and tourism planning experts. The reserve also lacks an appropriate decision-making structure that can facilitate efficient flow of management decisions to local communities. There is need to empower local people and regard them as partners in the tourism planning processes so that they can influence decisions.

The purpose of the article is to present the concept of using social media (SM) as data sources and communication tools, useful at the various stages of planning, implementing and monitoring the effects of tourism development on a local level. The first part discusses the stages of planning, then presents the characteristics of SM, along with a discussion of the issues presented in the literature to this date. The next part presents data sources and methods of research on SM and functions that they can perform in tourism. The concept presented, on the one hand, reviews the perspectives of practical use of SM as a communication tool and source of data and, on the other hand, the challenges related to the need to further deepen research on tourism planning methods that are adequate to the continuously changing environment.

At present, the main area for international tourism is Europe. However, in connection with the development of new technologies and an increasing investment in the tourism sector in other regions of the world, a systematic increase in the number of tourists, changes in their place of origin and their interests, actually cause a decline in the European share of the global tourism market, thus benefitting other continents. The percentage increase of tourism in the African region seems to be relatively small and insignificant (Africa’s share of world tourism in 2013 was amounted to only 5%), but with an increasing total number of tourists an increase of tourist interest of this region is estimated too. The main purpose of this article is to point out the barriers of tourism development in selected countries in the South African region and to present the concepts which may increase tourist interest to visit these countries. The article presents the results of an international survey. The questionnaire was conducted in three languages (Polish, English, and Spanish) among residents of 26 countries of the world.
