ABSTRACT The purpose of this examination is to prospect the underlying capacity of diverse geographic information systems in sustainable rural tourism and local community empowerment in South Africa and, extensively, Africa. Hence, corresponds with diverse rural areas elsewhere globally, utilizing the case of Musina Municipality in Limpopo Province, South Africa. The case study appropriates narrative literature review (with existing documents reviews), interviews, and focuses group discussion in studying African and comprehensive agricultural, environmental, and tourism reservoirs management situations. It links community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) and geographic information systems to sustainable tourism implications in Musina Municipality. Numerous agricultural communities in Southern Africa and Africa comprehensively reside in low-income districts; Musina Municipality is no different. Such localities are plentiful in natural biodiversity and tourism host provinces. Geographic information systems, sustainable tourism, agriculture (AG), and community-based natural resource management can generate a medley of local community development schemes within such environs.
