The AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE OF TOURISM TO ELIMINATE POVERTY

Abstract

Tourists' influence on absolute poverty in two developing countries is examined in this study, which goes beyond the economic
impact. People in poverty are evaluated to discover if tourist spending has an impact. An error correction model may be used
to estimate the link between poverty and tourism spending. A favourable effect on the poor from visitors does tend to be shortlived, however, as the poor at lower economic levels are more directly affected by tourism growth. Studies in developing
nation’s show that the effects of tourism development vary, and this means that the policy implications vary as well
