NRI publishes report on responsible tourism in The Gambia
The Department for International Development Tourism Challenge Fund Report on ‘Harnessing Tourism for Poverty Elimination in The Gambia’ has just been published by the Natural Resources Institute.
The 18-month project explored through a multi-stakeholder process the barriers which make it difficult for informal sector entrepreneurs – juice pressers, fruit sellers, local guides and craft workers – to engage in the industry.
ASSET, the Association of Small Scale Enterprises in Tourism, worked with the tourism industry in The Gambia and individuals and groups in the community to increase the earnings of local people. This approach is being continued by the new Gambian Tourism Authority as they prepare for the new season.
If you are seeking information about how tourism in traditional sun, sand and sea beach resorts can be opened up to give access to small entrepreneurs and make a contribution to poverty reduction, please click on the following link:
