Tourism has rapidly grown in the Dominican Republic in recent years. This paper evaluates the impact of tourism on rural livelihoods through a survey conducted in 23 coastal communities covering a range of tourism levels and types. Tourism generally has a positive impact as measured by increased household income and job satisfaction. Personal and community characteristics, such as knowledge of a second language, young age, and predominance of domestic and day-trip tourism, are the most important factors in determining tourism-related employment in the studied communities. Policy implications for pro-poor tourism are discussed, followed by a cautionary note on tourism-induced population displacements. |
