Tourism, Development And Poverty Reduction In Guizhou And Yunnan, John A. Donaldson May 2013

Tourism, Development And Poverty Reduction In Guizhou And Yunnan, John A. Donaldson

John Donaldson

How did the differing strategies adopted to develop tourism in Guizhou and Yunnan affect patterns of economic development and poverty reduction? The answer is paradoxical.
