Abstract:
This study explores the role of tourism in poverty reduction, focusing on its effectiveness and the associated challenges. By examining existing literature and empirical data, it assesses how tourism contributes to alleviating poverty in local communities, investigates the obstacles faced in tourism development, and identifies the root causes of poverty. The research employs a mix of primary and secondary data, using surveys and statistical analysis to provide insights into the impact of tourism on poverty reduction. Finding indicate that while tourism can drive significant improvements in economic conditions, challenges such as resource mismanagement and socio-economic barriers persist. The study concludes with recommendations for enhancing tourism strategies to better address poverty, acknowledging its limitations and suggesting areas for further investigation.
