| Summary: | South Africa has numerous natural tourism heritage sites spread across the entire landscape of the country that attract tourists from across the globe. However, the concern is that these sites are
vulnerable to various threats such as the impact and effect of global climate changes, mining pollution and other hazardous human activities which may lead to their degradation and subsequently lower their tourism value and importance. Furthermore, these threats, especially climate change will lead to loss of preservation of the unique history of South Africa. This article examines potent interventions that have been introduced to curb these threats to heritage sites. Pursuant to this, the article focuses on interventions that seek to preserve and conserve heritage sites for sustainable tourism for purposes of
sustainable tourism enterprises, dire poverty alleviation and sustainable jobs, enhanced development and improved economic growth.
