GUIDELINES
LANGUAGE
We prefer the term poverty alleviation tourism over 'Pro Poor
Tourism,' a clumsy term with noble sentiments. From the name
it is unclear whether this tourism exploits the poor or works
toward the alleviation of poverty.

MOUNTAINS
Every year, International Mountain Day is observed with a different
theme relevant to sustainable mountain development. The theme
chosen for 2005
was 'Sustainable Tourism for Poverty Alleviation in Mountain
Areas.'
RECOMMENDATIONS
Spend time and listen to local communities. How do they suggest
creating jobs?
