About the Book : Reducing Poverty through Tourism
Tourism is a key export for many developing countries, and this industry can
play a significant role in promoting balanced sustainable development which
generates benefits for poorer communities. This book reflects this concern by
examining the contribution which tourism development can make to the elimination
of poverty in developing countries, as well as making recommendations for action
by governments, the industry, development agencies and local communities. It
makes a major contribution to a more coherent, cross-disciplinary and sensitive
approach to the tourism-poverty debate.
