Methodology for Pro-Poor Tourism Case Studies
Summary:
This working paper contains the methodological guidelines for assessing
PPT approaches. The guidelines were initially given to authors of six
case studies on pro-poor tourism initiatives in 2000, but have recently
been up-dated to make them available to a wider audience. The purpose
of the methodology is to provide a common analytical framework for assessing
diverse situations and to ensure that the analysis focuses on poverty-related
issues. Assessing tourism initiatives from a poverty-focused perspective
was still relatively new in 2001, and quite different to normal evaluations
which would compare progress against project-defined objectives, or broad
'sustainable tourism' goals. Thus a common methodology was essential for
ensuring that researchers/authors focused explicitly on poverty issues
and were provided with the tools to do so.
