Tourism and
Poverty Alleviation
The World Tourism Organisation has
produced this report as a synthesis of pro-poor tourism activity. It
considers the economic impacts and benefits of tourism generally. These are
illustrated with case studies showing successes from local partnerships,
government policy and public-private partnerships. The organisation states
that tourism can and should be developed with poverty alleviation in mind,
and equally, that it should be considered as a primary development option,
alongside other industries, by development banks and funding agencies.
Challenges and steps to be taken in achieving poverty reduction through
tourism are considered.
