• Pro-Poor local economic development in South Africa: The role of pro-poor tourism (2006, background): “In the changed policy debates with the new pro-poor agenda, attention centres upon addressing missed opportunities to enhance net benefits and opportunities for the poor (DFID, 1998; 1999; Goodwin, 1998; Ashley, Goodwin & Roe, 2001; Ashley & Roe, 2002; Pro-Poor Tourism Partnership, 2004).”
• Exploring the Tourism-Poverty Nexus (2007, methodology): “Since then the PPT Partnership has been responsible for a wide range of studies on PPT, often funded by DFID and the ODI (see e.g. Ashley & Roe, 2002; Roe et al., 2002).1 For example, it has been involved in a major ‘PPT Pilots’ programme in South Africa which works with a small number of private…”
• Segmentation by motivation for rural tourism activities in The Gambia (2014, background): “…one form of reducing leakages is through locals becoming more directly involved in terms of ownership and levels of control of tourism businesses (Ashley & Roe, 2002; Mahony & van Zyl, 2002; Scheyvens, 2002; Simpson, 2008, p. 6): Community-based tourism enterprises (CBTE) or Pro-Poor Tourism…”
• From philanthropy to a different way of doing business: strategies and challenges in integrating pro-poor approaches into tourism business (2006, methodology): “Evidence, although admittedly limited at present, shows that tourism can be developed in ways that increase net benefits for the poor (Ashley & Roe, 2002).”
• Tourism and poverty relief (2008, background): “However, apart from studies of specific projects and programmes that indicate how tourism can assist poverty relief (for example, Ashley and Roe, 2002), there is little economy-wide research evidence to suggest that tourism does reduce poverty nor studies that quantify the interactions between…”
• Can tourism help to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere”? The challenge of tourism addressing SDG1 (2019, background): “The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and Department for International Development (DFID) in the UK subsequently funded a number of studies and projects (see e.g. Ashley & Roe, 2002; Roe, Goodwin, & Ashley, 2002).”
• Panel evidence on the impact of tourism growth on poverty, poverty gap and income inequality (2019, background): “More recently, attention has however focused on whether tourism growth is pro-poor, that is, whether tourism benefits poor people more than non-poor people (Ashley and Roe 2002, Schilcher 2007).”
• Inclusive tourism development (2018, background): “PPT emerged as an analytical concept around the turn of the century and is associated with some of the same academic-practitioners as responsible tourism (Ashley, Boyd, & Goodwin, 2000; Ashley & Roe, 2002; Goodwin & Font, 2007).”
• Tourism and Poverty Reduction: Issues for Small Island States (2008, background): “PPT is an enticing concept as it promises that tourism can play a significant role in reducing poverty, indeed it is defined as ‘tourism that generates net benefits for the poor’ (Ashley and Roe 2002: 62).”
• The importance of dry woodlands and forests in rural livelihoods and poverty alleviation in South Africa (2007, background): “…alleviation directly (rather than just trickle down effects) is growing, with emerging enterprises explicitly stating local job creation as one of the core objectives, or criteria for success, now encapsulated in the phase “pro-poor tourism” (Mahony and van Zyl, 2002 and Ashley and Roe, 2002).”
• Tourism–agriculture linkages in rural South Africa: evidence from the accommodation sector (2012, background): “…investigation, for the country has been at the forefront of policy innovation and practice relating both to pro-poor tourism (Ashley & Haysom, 2008; Ashley & Roe, 2002; Rogerson, 2006; Rogerson & Visser, 2011; Spenceley, 2008) and to maximizing the benefits of tourism for local economic…”
