Tourism and poverty alleviation: An empirical analysis using panel data on Peru's departments Llorca Rodríguez, Carmen María Casas Jurado, Amalia Cristina García Fernández, Rosa María Impacts of tourism Poverty Peru Policy-making Panel data model Feasible generalised least square This paper analyses the impact of tourism on total and extreme monetary poverty, in order to illuminate the debate surrounding the links between tourism and poverty. We apply fixed effects models to panel data on the Peruvian departments for the period 2001–2013. We also identify the key factors in the tourism model affecting the empirical results. Our findings show that tourism is important for the poor, but its benefits do not reach the extreme poor to the same extent, and its potential is not fully exploited. The weak macroenvironment and low community participation impede poverty reduction through tourism. 2024-11-12T09:12:02Z 2024-11-12T09:12:02Z 2017-08-03 journal article Llorca-Rodríguez CM, Casas-Jurado AC, García-Fernández RM.
