Over the past decade, there have been an increasing number of
publications that have analysed and critiqued the potential of
tourism to be a mechanism for poverty reduction in less
economically developed countries (LEDCs). This book showcases work
by established and emerging researchers that provides new thinking
and tests previously made assumptions, providing an essential guide
for students, practitioners and academics. This book advances our
understanding of the changes and ways forward in the field of
sustainable tourism development. Five main themes are illustrated
throughout the book: (1) measuring impacts of tourism on poverty;
(2) the need to evaluate whether interventions that aim to reduce
poverty are effective; (3) how unbalanced power relations and weak
governance can undermine efforts; (4) the importance of the private
sector's use of pro-poor business practices; and (5) the value of
using multidisciplinary and multi-method research approaches.
Furthermore, the book shows that academic research findings can be
used practically in destinations, and how practitioners can benefit
from sharing their experiences with academic scholars. This book
was based on a special issue and various articles from the Journal
of Sustainable Tourism.
