Pro-Poverty Tourism

Tourism that generates net benefits for the poor is defined as Pro-poor Tourism. An analysis of tourism data shows that in most countries with high levels of poverty, tourism is significance or growing. Tourism is therefore a fact of life for many of the poor people of the world. Aim of this book is to provide important material on strategies for making tourism pro-poor. To focus specifically on unlocking opportunities for the poor to economic benefits. In preparing this work we have incurred indebtedness and gratitude of the authorities on the subject. We record our acknowledgements to every one of them.
