Speaking at an African tourism forum, Meru said that while 3.8 million jobs could be created by the tourism industry in Africa over the next 10 years, &#8220;these figures can only be realised if the industry takes on a sustainable tourism development path and if the current situation will remain unattended, these jobs would vanish in air.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h6>In Brief<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>At the meeting,
