Abstract
Many independent nations with strong tourism economies have colonial pasts. In parts of Africa and Asia, former colonial powers have left post-colonial legacies of language, buildings, trade and diplomatic links, and government bureaucratic structures (Ashcroft et al., 2007, Sharp, 2009, Zein-Alabdin, 2009). There are also strong postcolonial influences on tourism (Carrigan, 2011, Hall and Tucker, 2004, Tucker and Abama, 2009). These range from large-scale factors such as key markets and land-use allocation (Akama et al., 2011, Nelson, 2010), to localised concerns such as the authenticity of performances (Martin, 2010). In nations such as India, the newly wealthy middle class may use tourism to sample former colonial lifestyles (Bandyopadhyay, 2012).
