 poverty via developing tourism”. So far, the new trail has yielded more effective results than we expect either from the de facto effect of poverty alleviation in poor areas or from the overall impact in the process. Taking three ethnic villages in Yunnan province as examples, the thesis explores the impact of government-oriented poverty alleviation on countryside tourism development. It turns out that government’s participation in tourism-based poverty alleviation has a remarkable influence on the four major factors of regional economy, society, environment and quality of the local residents. Meanwhile, the four major factors correspondingly impact the region’s infrastructure, industrial development, employment, economic income, reputation, community exchange, ethnic culture, noise disturbance, traffic congestion, life skills, environmental awareness, cultural relic preservation, ethnic solidarity and residents’ perception and living quality to a varying degree.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/892.jpg)

As early as 1960s and 1970s, foreign scholars began to combine tourism and anti-poverty, which blazed a new trail of “eliminating (reducing) poverty via developing tourism”. So far, the new trail has yielded more effective results than we expect either from the de facto effect of poverty alleviation in poor areas or from the overall impact in the process. Taking three ethnic villages in Yunnan province as examples, the thesis explores the impact of government-oriented poverty alleviation on countryside tourism development. It turns out that government’s participation in tourism-based poverty alleviation has a remarkable influence on the four major factors of regional economy, society, environment and quality of the local residents. Meanwhile, the four major factors correspondingly impact the region’s infrastructure, industrial development, employment, economic income, reputation, community exchange, ethnic culture, noise disturbance, traffic congestion, life skills, environmental awareness, cultural relic preservation, ethnic solidarity and residents’ perception and living quality to a varying degree.
