Dale Honeck* WTO Abstract: "Pro-poor" tourism is arguably one of the best green options for addressing LDC poverty, employment and economic diversification initiatives. Although often neglected as a serious policy option --and consequently most of its potential still remains untapped --tourism is the leading export for at least 11 LDCs, and the 2 nd or 3 rd largest export for another 11 or more. It is also a major source of new employment, especially for women, youth and the rural poor in general. While difficult to measure accurately, tourism's pro-poor impacts are directly related to the achieved level of inter-and intra-sectoral linkages. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor mayTaking export diversification, employment generation and the "green economy" in turn, the working paper analyzes feasible LDC alternatives, reaching the conclusion (within the limits of data availability) that --in contrast with the current overemphasis on agriculture and manufacturing --green tourism is demonstrably one of the areas of greatest current comparative advantage and development potential for the majority of LDCs, via its extensive upstream and downstream linkages/multiplier effects, employment-generating and poverty alleviation capacities, opportunities for export "test marketing" of new products, sustainability, and largely untapped export opportunities.An economy wide, primarily private-sector approach is an essential element for maximizing tourism benefits --including its multiple linkages with agriculture and manufacturing --together with a significant coordinating governmental role to minimize negative externalities. Unfortunately, there is no automatic guarantee that expanding tourism will significantly increase poverty alleviation or local employment generation: the necessary mechanisms must be explicitly included in tourism planning and implementation.
