Abstract

Poverty and anti-poverty are important theoretical and practical problems in the present world. The tourism development is able to provide new paths of hematopoiesis for poverty alleviation of poor areas. Therefore, it is pretty important for the economic development to study the tourism poverty alleviation in the remote and poor regions. In this study, we concentrated on the tourism poverty alleviation in Gaoxian, Yibin and discussed the present status of Pro-poor tourism. Data on economic development, poverty situation and tourism development during the period of 2010-2016 were investigated by the questionnaire survey and the semi-structured interview. The trend analysis, the chart analysis and the comparison method were employed to conduct data analysis. Our analysis indicated that (1) The poverty incidence had dramatically decreased and poverty reduction had been fast duirng past seven years. (2) The proportion of incomes from the tourism in Gross Domestic Product of Gaoxian, Yibin had continuously increased in the period of 2010-2016. (3) The tourism development had improved the living environment of rural residents and has enhanced the quality of life in Gaoxian, Yibin. This study will provide scientific basis for alleviation work of poverty in Gaoxian, Yibin, and provide the reference for other poverty-stricken areas.
