Michael Hall (Edited by)Author: C. Michael HallLanguage: EnglishSubtitle: Perspectives on Tourism and Poverty ReductionISBN-10: 1845410750Description: Pro-poor tourism – tourism that is intended to result in increased net benefits for poor people – is currently receiving enormous attention from the World Tourism Organization, the UN system, governments, industry, and NGOs and is an integral component of many sustainable development strategies in the less developed countries. Through a series of cases and reviews from experts in the field this book provides one of the first assessments of the effectiveness of pro-poor tourism as a development strategy and tackles the issue of who benefits from tourism’s potential role in poverty reduction. This timely book therefore makes a major contribution to the ongoing debate about tourism’s role in economic development, postcolonial politics, and North-South relations at a time when international trade negotiations appear poised to further open up developing countries to international tourism.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Business & FinanceBook Series: Current Themes In TourismTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
