Identifier	Thesis 1950
Author	Kennedy, Kathleen M.
Title	Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Tourism: A Partnership for Poverty Reduction in Developing Countries
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2008
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Tourism-oriented non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are becoming increasingly relevant as an alternative and legitimate source of development aid to many developing countries since the turn of the twenty-first century. Many NGOs based in the developed world, in their quest to meet the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals, are partnering with local NGOs and communities to help create locally initiated solutions to poverty. This research study will illustrate how tourism NGOs are tools for poverty reduction and are an effective means of providing communities with socially and environmentally responsible tourism in developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. Their partnerships ensure community involvement and direct benefits to communities, while creating sustainable solutions that preserve their culture and environment. While there are several distinct types of tourism NGOs providing both financial and non-financial benefits to poor and indigenous communities, this study focuses on three -- educational and advocacy organizations, voluntourism organizations, and tour company foundations -- that have made substantial contributions to poverty reduction through sustainable tourism. This study suggests, however that the lack of uniform standards for measuring the success of these organizations, complicates efforts to ascertain the exact levels of poverty reduction.
