Here, in South Africa too, tourism is receiving thisattention yet there are commlmities in this country which still do not enjoy theopportunities offered by tourism.It is for this reason that a study of tourismconstraints ofUmlazi township residents is undertaken.This study aims at determining the constraints that are a hindrance to the Umlazitownship residents' participation in tourism.
