$5\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}1$ Objective $1$ discussion and analysis

The comments of the participants throughout the interviews revealed numerous inefficiencies in collaboration between community and government departments.

Overall, the results indicate a holistic strategy to sustainable tourism management that prioritizes environmental preservation, community involvement, infrastructure development, marketing, economic support, safety, and governance.

LR$1$ expressed, $$I do not know anything about tourism, I just see people visiting my town especially in April and December. It is difficult for me to comment on the policies and regulations because no official has visited my community and shed some light on latest developments$.$ This identifies a critical knowledge gap.

BO$1$ suggested limiting visitation to natural areas and hotels to reduce congestion and safeguard the environment and community. This demonstrates a commitment to sustainable tourism that reduces negative impacts on local ecosystems and residents.

TO$1$ emphasized the need of zoning restrictions in balancing conservation and economic growth. Designated zones for tourism development can help safeguard natural and cultural resources while allowing for controlled growth.

BO$2$ emphasized the importance of investing in infrastructure, such as roads and public transportation, to better accommodate and enhance tourists' experiences. Effective transportation networks are critical for controlling tourist traffic and minimizing environmental damage.

LR$3$ emphasized the need of strategic marketing in showcasing Port St Johns' distinctive qualities. A well$-$executed marketing strategy can increase visitor numbers while also boosting local economies.

LR$4$ and BO$3$ explored the economic elements, emphasizing that, while opportunities exist, residents face barriers to accessing capital. Government assistance, such as financing or sponsorships, may enable community members to capitalize on tourism prospects.

LR$5$ recommended setting health and safety regulations for tourism$-$related enterprises to safeguard both visitors and residents, resulting in a safe and joyful experience for all.

BO$4$ and BO$5$ emphasized issues with government department collaboration and local government developments. Efficient governance and inter$-$departmental coordination are required for successful policy implementation and service delivery.

The comments revealed a complex interplay of sustainability challenges in the tourism industry, necessitating balanced methods to maximize local advantages while limiting negative consequences. Each category$$environmental$,$ economic, social, and cultural$$must be addressed to promote a sustainable tourism model that values and supports the local community.

Pollution from increased visitor activity, resulting in uncleanliness, particularly around popular locations like the beach, this is evidenced by LR$3\text{'}$s response, which states that $$When there is a large influx of people, the town becomes extremely unclean, particularly around the beach$.$ TO$1$ articulated the need for effective waste management and environmental protection measures to handle the influx of visitors without harming the local ecosystem through his response, $$My concern is the increasing demand of tourists that leads to pollution. Plans have been put in place to boost tourism in the town, but the government doesn$$t seem to have plans of boosting tourism$.$

The responses made throughout the interviews reveal that most tourism$-$related businesses are not locally owned, resulting in profits leaving the community and not contributing to the local economy. The price inflation during peak tourist seasons, makes essential goods and services unaffordable for residents and this creates a disparity between the needs of residents and the demands of tourists. The instability of jobs in the tourism sector, can lead to economic insecurity for workers. The impact of tourism on local culture and traditions, particularly the inappropriate presentation and mixing of cultural identities during events like Heritage Month raises concerns about cultural respect and authenticity. LR$4$ articulated the importance of educating both tourists and locals about cultural heritage, ensuring that traditions are represented accurately and respectfully in his response, $$Sometimes there is an inappropriate presentation of local traditions and customs. September is Heritage Month, and I don't like how individuals dress up to show their culture, some combine cultures. Everyone should be proud of their roots, whether they are Zulu, Xhosa, Tsonga, or Indian. If you decide to wear Indian clothes, stick to it; don't mix with other cultures.
