Tourism is one of Latin America's
fastest growing industries but the impact of tourism on the
poor and the effects on lagging regions are under debate.
Many studies have evaluated the growth impacts of the
tourism sector but few have analyzed the impact of tourism
on the economy and poverty at the subnational level in
developing countries. As a country marked by a "dual
economy," Panama shares with other Latin American
countries a fast growing, modern urban sector side by side
with impoverished rural and peri-urban populations. Tourism
has been growing in Panama and contributes at least 6
percent of gross domestic product. This paper presents the
results of a top-down assessment of the impact of tourism
spending on growth and poverty at the regional (province)
level in Panama using a Social Accounting Matrix model. As
revealed by this study, the tourism sector has large
multiplier effects on the Panamanian economy and has the
potential for significant benefits to the poor. But
tourism's poverty benefits are neither automatic nor
ubiquitous. They depend on where and how supply chains are
structured and on the way tourists spend their money. |
