• Supporting innovation for tourism development through multi-stakeholder approaches: Experiences from Africa (2013, background): “…Developed Countries (LEDCs), the tourism industry is often driven by conventional mass tourism which constrains the growth prospects of small firms (Dahles & Bras, 1999; Dahles & Kuene, 2002; Rogerson, 2007a) and limits the opportunities to reduce poverty that tourism could generate (Mbaiwa, 2005).”
• Tourism and poverty reduction: theory and practice in less economically developed countries (2012, background): “A key focus here was on dependency debates, and tourism was frequently seen as supporting a new kind of colonialism, a view that is still prominent, especially among African academics today (Akama, 2004; Manyara & Jones, 2007; Mbaiwa, 2005).”
• Exploring the Tourism-Poverty Nexus (2007, background): “…this point, from work in the 1970s which signified a major shift in thinking away from the idea that tourism automatically led to poverty alleviation (see e.g. de Kadt, 1979; Nash, 1977; Smith, 1977), through to contemporary studies still drawing heavily on dependency theory (e.g. Mbaiwa, 2005).”
• From Leakages to Linkages: Local-Level Strategies for Capturing Tourism Revenue in Northern Thailand (2010, background): “However, low leakages are generally viewed as a failure of the community to take full advantage of the opportunity offered by the tourism industry (Smith and Jenner 1992; Lindberg 1998; Weaver 1998; Walpole and Goodwin 2000; Scheyvens 2002; Torres 2003; Mbaiwa 2005).”
• The effects of tourism development on rural livelihoods in the Okavango Delta, Botswana (2010, background): “Domestic tourism is also assumed to promote citizen companies to participate in tourism development, reduce the foreign domination and ownership of tourism and thus bring greater benefits to Botswana (Mbaiwa, 2005a).”
• CENTRALISED DECENTRALISATION OF TOURISM DEVELOPMENT: A Network Perspective (2013, background): “235 of local communities and economic (private) operators in tourism development has been observed in a number of sub-Saharan African destinations (Mbaiwa, 2005a,b).”
• Local communities’ participation in decision-making processes through planning and budgeting in African countries (2013, background): “The coming in of private companies to run ecotourism businesses has led to local communities being further alienated from their land in Zimbabwe and Botswana (Hughes 2001; Mbaiwa 2003).”
