• Panel evidence on the impact of tourism growth on poverty, poverty gap and income inequality (2019, background): “Tourism has long been considered important for economic development particularly in developing countries, and for its potential to reduce poverty (see Bryden 1973, Clancy 1999, Scheyvens 2007).”

(2007, background): “However, critics suggest that it is another form of neoliberalism that fails to address the structural reasons for the north–south divide, as well as internal divides within developing countries (e.g. Chok et al., 2007; Scheyvens, 2007; Schilcher, 2007).”
• Is Overtourism Overused?
