Abstract

In Hainan ethnic minority areas where have abundant tourism resources developing pro-poor tourism projects is an important approach to poverty alleviation However whether local residents really participate in tourism is related to the efficiency and effectiveness of the results. So to find the best way for the poor people to fighting poverty and pursuing development, we analysis two different models of Hainan ethnic minority area that they succeed in poverty alleviation through tourism. One is the “New Village Model of Big Region and Small Town” model of Shijin village based on “enterprise + local household” rural amorous feelings towns, the other one is government-led model of the beautiful village of Shihan in Qiongzhong. We attempt to find why they succeed in poverty alleviation through tourism; their ways of community participation, then explores the experiences for reference in the tourism poverty alleviation and development in Hainan ethnic regions. Our results suggest that all the models focus on economic participation and concentrate on getting local residents rich, they emphasize culture, government play an important roles in the initial phase of project, and use “tourism+”in different industries to expand participation breadth and depth.
