Connecting the Sustainable Livelihoods approach and Tourism

Tourism has been increasingly used for and directly linked with rural poverty reduction in developing countries. However, the application of, and to an extent the principles of the widely used organizing framework for considering poverty reduction, the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (SLA), may not fit fully the tourism situation, and vice versa.

Action on CBT is working to break the cycle of poverty by empowering communities through sustainable tourism.
