Abstract:
Tourism is generally recognized as one of the most dynamic sectors to generate both economic growth and employment opportunities in developing contexts, potentially even supplementing traditional sectors that face economic downturn due to the global economic and financial crisis (ILO & UNWTO, 2009). Tourism continues to show economic growth and number of tourists have reached one billion in 2012. The sector is
particularly important for developing countries, and has proven to generate substantial economic progress and employment (Spenceley & Goodwin, 2007).
Description:
This report is the result of a joint effort of four conservation organisations (AWF, NRT, ACC and LWF), the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Nairobi and the research team of Wageningen University.
