Governments and global development agencies consider tourism to be
a key tool by which developing countries can diversify their
economies and lift populations from the grips of poverty. Its
"sustainable" image lends itself specifically to the development of
rural economies. The growth of ecological, cultural, and adventure
tourism has assisted in propelling tourism forward as the "sexy"
development option for rural communities. What About The Locals?:
Impacts of Tourism Development on Mountain Communities in Central
Asia, explores the development of tourism in the mountain regions
of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Local, regional, and national
governments work closely with global development agencies and
international tourism firms to foster investment and infrastructure
development, with the intended goal of increasing skilled
employment, entreprenuerialism, and taxable revenue. Dr. Allen's
indepth case studies reveal that, despite good intentions, tourism
development can lead to unequal competition between international
and locally based firms, degradation of local ecosystems, and
rarely provides stable skilled employment.
