How holidaying in developing countries affects local inequality

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, July 6, 2023

The staff at the mammoth hotel were making as little as US$1 (£0.79) for a 12-hour shift.

Key Points: 
  • The staff at the mammoth hotel were making as little as US$1 (£0.79) for a 12-hour shift.
  • The hotel also exploited its power over local farmers to procure food exceedingly cheaply.
  • But how bad is tourism for inequality in developing countries overall?
  • Our recent research has sought to answer this, looking at 71 countries around the world.

Upsides and downsides

    • Tourism sustains a lot of jobs and economic value overall, making it attractive to governments as a way of boosting growth.
    • They were serviced by nearly 300 million travel and tourism workers, and the sector generated over 7% of global GDP.
    • Equally, tourism is associated with other knock-on effects such as water scarcity, pollution, crime, sex exploitation and destroying tradition.
    • If you were wondering about the Dominican Republic, there’s a study showing that tourism actually has a negligible impact on inequality.

Our findings

    • These factors include the country’s level of economic and financial development, inflation rate and government policies seeking to redistribute wealth.
    • We would have ideally looked at even more than 71 countries, but others had to be excluded because good-quality data was unavailable.
    • We found that tourism eased income inequality in lower income countries when it went hand in hand with redistributive policies.
    • In wealthier countries, the opposite was counterintuitively the case: increasing tourism exacerbated inequality when combined with redistributive policies.
    • But clearly tourism can be good news for inequality in poorer countries when it’s combined with redistributive policies and financial inclusion.
