Summary: | 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 report 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. |
