How Poor Countries Can Boost Tourism To Create Employment And Grow Their Economies.

 

Overview

Many poor countries have untapped tourist potentials that can turn around their desperate economies if the right policies and programs
are crafted and implemented to unlock their tourism potentials. Countries that have focused on their economic strengths and pursued comparative advantage policies relative to economic growth have historically done better. Many poor or developing countries have
tourist assets in such areas as natural phenomena, historical objects and structures (as in the pyramids of Egypt), and modern construction for entertainment (as in seaside hotel attractions in Ghana). This capacity development program identifies the major tourist attractions of a state, creates a strategic tourism boosting plan for implementation, and designs a training program for officials whose
responsibility it would be to implement the plan.
