Finland might seem an unlikely partner for research on southern Africa, being rather different in climate, geography, society, and culture. Like its Scandinavian neighbours, however, the Finnish Foreign Ministry funds a number of ongoing bilateral aid programs in African nations. The principal editor of this volume, well-known and energetic tourism geographer Jarkko Saarinen, clearly managed to appropriate a certain component of this program to establish collaborations with his colleagues in Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa.Finland might seem an unlikely partner for research on southern Africa, being rather different in climate, geography, society, and culture.
