The
Indian Ocean Disaster and Tourism
The
effect on tourism in tsunami-hit areas of the Indian Ocean has been
devastating. Reconstruction is underway, but will the poor workers
and entrepreneurs be able to participate? Alongside the chalets
and bars, will the fishing boats, sewing machines and rickshaws
be replaced too? Reconstruction of the industry must incorporate
strategies for pro-poor tourism, to enable those dependent on tourism
to rebuild their livelihoods too.

| A
Different Way of Doing Business
This
paper argues that the tourism sector needs to go much further in
shifting from philanthropic approaches to community benefit to pro-poor
approaches that entail doing business differently. It goes beyond
generalisations about what companies should do to look at some of
the nitty gritty of how they can implement changed practice
and illustrates that there is much that ‘mainstream’
commercial tourism can do to embrace pro-poor approaches.
