Abstract

After the theoretical analysis of rural tourism's impact on households' multidimensional poverty, the paper makes an empirical research on the effects of rural tourism on multidimensional poverty by the Endogenous Switching Regression (ESR) model with the survey data of 22 tourism poverty alleviation villages in four cities of Shaanxi Province, China. The results show that:Firstly, the larger the multidimensional poverty is, the lower the proportion of households participating in tourism. Rural tourism doesn't benefit the poor intrinsically. Secondly, in general, households participation in rural tourism has significantly reduced their multidimensional poverty. From a single dimension, rural tourism participation has significant reduction effects on the dimensions of households' economic status, education, living standards and rights poverty. Specifically, it has the largest poverty reduction effects on households living standards, but the effects on health dimension is not significant. Thirdly, significant changes of the factors influencing the multidimensional poverty index, economic status and living standards exist between the households participating tourism and those not, but there are no significant changes of the factors influencing the education, health and right poverty. Therefore, we put forward the suggestions including:improving rural tourism, innovating management modes; distinguishing the participating and non-participating households to carryout precise propoor assistances; and protecting the rights and interests of rural households in the development of rural tourism through systematic designs.
