Abstract Based on survey data covering 235 villages of the contiguous poor area in Guangxi Autonomous Region, a multivariate linear regression model was used to test the overall poverty reduction effect of the rural tourism poverty alleviation projects. Furthermore, we examined the specific impacts of different development links, namely tourism project construction, transportation facilities construction, and tourism employment participation, on poverty reduction at village scale. The results showed that the overall poverty reduction effect of the rural tourism poverty alleviation projects was significant, implying the effectiveness of these projects promoted and invested mainly by superior governments. In general, the introduction of poverty alleviation projects and development of rural tourism were helpful for the rural poor to increase household income and get rid of poverty. However, the poverty reduction effects of different development links were not equal. In terms of tourism project, this article finds that there are no significant differences in the types of tourism project in improving the income of poor households. In the future, a "one size fits all" single tourism project model should be avoided to guide the differentiated development of tourism projects in key villages.
