Poverty Alleviation and Recurrence: Paradox of Rural Tourism
Much has been presented on the blessing or blight of rural tourism. This webinar is on the paradoxical role of rural tourism in moving rural communities out of poverty and potentially causing them to fall back to poverty. As the world-renowned scholars and experts in rural and small community tourism, the moderators and speakers will illuminate how and where rural and small community tourism has succeeded and/or failed in alleviating poverty and what need to happen for it to play a sustainable role in poverty alleviation and other development goals.
