• Pro-Poor Tourism: Do ‘Tourism Exchanges Benefit Primarily the Countries of the South’? (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).”
• Can tourism help to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere”? The challenge of tourism addressing SDG1 (2019, background): “It may, for example, be very difficult for well-designed propoor tourism initiatives to be implemented effectively if corruption and cronyism are rife, there is racism and sexual discrimination, and if powerful elites typically capture the benefits of development interventions (Chok et al., 2007).”
