Abstract

This paper aims to study the impact of Rural Tourism on Poverty Reduction within the framework of sustainable livelihood approch using an ex-post-facto-comparative method. For this purpose, two villages of the township of Rey, including Galehnou and Glalin, were chosen to see the extent of the effect. These villages were geographically and locally similar, but differed from the point of view of tourist visitors quantity. It was assumed that tourism would positively and sustainably affect the villagers’ livelihoods. In this study, the approach of the British oversea department for development was used to define sustainable livelihood. According to this department, this concept refers to five economic, social, cultural, environmental and institutional dimensions. All data needed for the study were gathered by utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods. Statistical population in both villages was 274 households, of which 80 respondents were selected through random sampling to collect survey data. Likewise, 31 local informants in both villages were interviewed to gather qualitative data. The findings indicated that as compared to village Galin – which had attracted the least tourists, the majority of respondents in village Galehnou – which had attracted the highest tourists believed that tourism has positive effect on their Sustainable Subsistence. Moreover, most of socio-economic and individual variables in village Glaehnou were statistically and positively associated with the respondents’ attitudes towards the positive effect of tourism on sustainable livelihood. Amongst independent variables, asset and income were highly associated with the independent variable. The paper refuted cynical approach that tourism and its development bring about negative outcomes or negatives attitudes in rural areas, due to its socio economic side-effects.
