Tourism, economic and social inclusion

The tourism sector shows great potential to contribute to poverty alleviation. 

 

 

The growing demand for tourism activities based on social and environmentally responsible practices demonstrates that the inclusion of low income communities in the tourism market chain is not just good for the society, but also for business.
