Summary
Pro-poor tourism (PPT) interventions aim to increase the net benefits for the poor from tourism, and ensure that tourism growth contributes to poverty reduction. PPT is not a specific product or sector of tourism, but an approach. PPT strategies aim to unlock opportunities for the poor - whether for economic gain, other livelihood benefits, or participation in decision-making. This report reviews practical experience of 'pro-poor tourism strategies' in order to identify useful lessons and good practice. It synthesises findings from six case studies of pro-poor tourism interventions, in South Africa, Namibia, Uganda, St Lucia, Ecuador and Nepal.
