- Community-based Tourism Enterprises Development in Kenya: An Exploration of Their Potential as Avenues of Poverty Reduction (2007, background): “Kiss (2004) nonetheless cautions that, although CBEs can generate income for local communities, concrete goals need to be established, adequate support should be in place, appropriate analyses undertaken (such as for product development and marketing) and appropriate information provided to…”
- The economics of desertification, land degradation, and drought: Toward an integrated global assessment (2011, neutral): “What is different for this project is its collaboration with a private tour company instead of external funding from the government or donors (Kiss 2004).”
- A structural model for examining how destination image and interpretation services affect future visitation behavior: a case study of Taiwan's Taomi eco-village (2009, background): “Development of community-based ecotourism is seen as a good use of biodiversity funds (Kiss, 2004).”
- Improving the effectiveness of interventions to balance conservation and development: a conceptual framework (2007, background): “As Kiss (2004b) maintains, those seeking biodiversity conservation in poor countries are usually external stakeholders competing with both local values and other external stakeholders who place greater value on the resources they can extract.”
- Can ecotourism deliver real economic, social, and environmental benefits? A study of the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica (2015, background): “Skeptics have taken on not only ecotourism specifically (e.g. Horton, 2009; Hunt, 2011; Kiss, 2004), but also more broadly integrated conservation and development projects (as in Terborgh, 1999; West & Carrier, 2004).”
- Lao Tourism and Poverty Alleviation: Community-Based Tourism and the Private Sector (2007, background): “Referring explicitly to community-based tourism (CBT), one critic has commented that ‘the literature is full of claims but short on data and quantitative analysis’ (Kiss, 2004: 234).”
- Sustainable Tourism Innovation: Challenging Basic Assumptions (2008, background): “…evaluations have highlighted many negative consequences from tourism development including Modest or no economic returns from tourism for locals ( Kiss, 2004 ) negative impacts on local culture and social structure ( Forstner, 2004 ) restriction of access to land for traditional activities (…”
- Community-based tourism as a sustainable solution to maximise impacts locally? The Tsiseb Conservancy case, Namibia (2010, result): “In sum, these drawbacks have jeopardised the project’s business viability and environmental sustainability – a finding again consistent with findings in other contexts in Namibia (Novelli & Gebhardt, 2007) and worldwide (Salafsky et al., 2001; Kiss, 2004).”
- The Economic Promise of Ecotourism for Conservation (2007, background): “As an increasing number of scholars (Alexander, 2000; Christ et al., 2004; Doan, 2000; Kiss, 2004; Kruger, 2004) are finding, economic benefits from ecotourism can sometimes create incentives for conservation use, but the rationale behind incentives is not always so clear.”
