This publication, produced by the World Tourism Organization and PlaNet Finance, examines the impact of tourism in relation to poverty reduction strategies in developing countries through the use of microfinance options in tourism projects. The report considers seven different approaches for promoting benefits for the poor from tourism development (including employment options, provision of services and products and tourism taxation); the role of small and medium sized businesses; and financing tourism through microcredit schemes, using the example of rural tourism development in Morocco.
