4.4 CONCLUSIONThe two hypothesis that have been put forth by the researcher have been tested andaccepted.The next chapter will give recommendations based on the findings from theresearch. The recommendations that will be given will be intended to deal with thetourism constraints that are faced by various communities, as it has become evidentthat some communities are faced with various constraints like those faced by theUmlazi township residents.The major constraints as revealed by the study are lack ofmoney - probably due tothe low rate ofemployment in KwaZulu-Natal. The second major constraint is lackof knowledge and awareness which was caused by the exclusion of somecommunities, particularly blacks, from the tourism industry. Lack ofknowledge canalso be the result of the high illiteracy rate in KwaZulu-Natal. The third majorconstraint is the fear of crime. The high crime rate in the whole of South Africaresults in people fearing to venture out and leave their homes for pleasure. Peoplefear that something might happen to them while they are in strange places. Anotherconstraint is the fear of road accidents which is the result of the high rate ofaccidents on the South African roads. All these constraints will be addressed in therecommendations.62
