Can nature's beauty lift citizens from poverty?
Often those who benefit most from nature-based tourism are people who already have resources. The truly impoverished have a harder time breaking into the tourism business, according to the paper, 'Drivers and Socioeconomic Impacts of Tourism Participation in Protected Areas,' published in the 25 April edition of PLoS One.
The study looks at nearly a decade of burgeoning tourism in the Wolong Nature Reserve in Southwestern China. China, like many areas in the world, relies on tourism over farming for economic viability, while attempting to preserve fragile animal habitat.
