“…Empirical studies on the effects of tourism on the poor have been conducted using two approaches, namely, simulation and econometrics (Kim, Song, and Pyun 2016). Studies that make use of the simulation approach includes Blake et al (2008) for Brazil; Wattanakuljarus and Coxhead (2008) for Thailand; Saayman, Rossouw, and Krugell (2012) for South Africa; Muchapondwa and Stage (2013) for Botswana, South Africa, and Namibia; Croes and Rivera (2017) for Ecuador; and Njoya and Seetaram (2018) for Kenya.…”

“…The positive effect of tourism development on economic growth is expected to translate into economic development (Sinclair 1998; Croes and Vanegas 2008; Christie et al 2014). Thus, recent studies in the field of tourism explore the spillover effect of tourism development on human capital development (Croes 2012; Biagi, Ladu, and Royuela 2017; Folarin et al 2017) and poverty alleviation (Croes and Vanegas 2008; Kim, Song, and Pyun 2016; Mahadevan and Suardi 2017). The latter is the focus of this article.…”

To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), precisely the one of eradicating extreme poverty at the end of 2030, it is important to understand factors that can reduce poverty. This article examines the effects of tourism development on poverty in Sub-Saharan African countries. Because of the possibility of an endogeneity problem arising from a reverse causation that might exist between poverty and the explanatory variables, the system Generalized Method of Moments (system GMM) estimation technique was deployed. The findings showed that tourism development contributes to poverty reduction in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. In other words, the results obtained provided ample support for the workability of a pro-poor tourism policy agenda. As a result, policies that are targeted at increasing the attractiveness and awareness of the existing SSA tourism sites in order to increase international tourism receipts and arrivals should be promoted since such interventions have considerable poverty reduction potential.

“…As mentioned above, the effects of tourism (as an economic activity) can positively or negatively affect a destination, but it will depend on the quality of the territorial planning (and the existence of adequate public policies). To obtain positive and tangible for the society results, the multiple dimensions included in sustainable tourism development must be incorporated (economic, social, environmental, cultural and institutional), because only balancing these dimensions would be possible to guarantee long-term sustainability [11].…”
