AbstractThis chapter reviews the impacts of tourism on the poor, outlines the concept of pro-poor tourism (PPT) and reviews recent experience of implementing a variety of strategies aimed at making tourism more pro-poor in several developing countries (South Africa, Ecuador, Namibia, Uganda, Nepal, and St Lucia). The case studies demonstrate that overall the impact of PPT strategies is positive. The chapter concludes by outlining a few constrains to PPT that need to be addressed, as well as several lessons on 'good practice'.
