Practical strategies for pro-poor tourism: a case study of the St. Lucia Heritage Tourism Programme.

Abstract

This case study focuses on the St. Lucia Heritage Tourism Programme (SLHTP), and has been designed to contribute to the Programme's current mid-term evaluation and medium-term programming exercise. The Programme and some of its partners have therefore participated in the conduct of the study, and in the analysis of its results. The Programme aims to establish heritage tourism as a viable and sustainable component of St. Lucia's tourism product by facilitating a process of education, capacity building, product development, marketing, credit access and the promotion of environmental and cultural protection for the benefit of host communities and St. Lucians.
