title: Identification and Evolution of the Noncoordination Coupling Relationship between Tourism Poverty Alleviation and Ecological Environments in Poor Mountainous Areas
abstract: Tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments are closely associated with each other's dissipation structure, which contains various coordinated and noncoordinated coupling states. Based on the perspective of reverse thinking and problem diagnosis, this paper constructs a bridge from uncoordinated pathology to coordinated development. From the perspective of incongruity, the framework model and evaluation index system of tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments incongruity coupling coordination driving mechanism are constructed. Also, the variation coefficient method is used to calculate the weight of each evaluation index and the coupling relationship and evolution of tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments in Liupanshui city are analyzed by the noncoordination coupling function. The results suggest the following: (1) During the study period, the poverty alleviation level of tourism in Liupanshui city presents a continuous growth curve. Meanwhile, ecological environment development level depicts rapid growth initially and then slows down and improves further. In this way, it shows different stage characteristics from the tourism poverty alleviation level. (2) The discordant coupling between tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments in Liupanshui city shows a decreasing curve. So, the noncoordinated development relationship between tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments is significant.

title: Exploring the Tourism Poverty Alleviation Nexus in the Brics Group of Nations
abstract: The tourism poverty alleviation nexus is becoming an increasingly significant subject of academic inquiry within the tourism economics discourse. Using time series data from the World Bank (1995 2017) in a P ARDL model, the present study explores the relationship between tourism (receipts from exports, the travel subsector, hospitality and accommodation subsector) and poverty alleviation (final household consumption) with tourism arrivals as the control variable within the context of the BRICS group. The results suggest that receipts from the travel subsector and exports met the a priori expectation positively influencing poverty alleviation within BRICS nations in the long run. Contrastingly, receipts from the hospitality and accommodation subsector did not meet the a priori expectation of a positive sign, with the results indicating statistical insignificance in the long run. However, receipts from the hospitality and accommodation were found to only influence poverty alleviation in the short run. Relatedly, the results suggest that increases in consumption associated with growth in tourism arrivals did not influence poverty in the BRICS. The results point to the heterogeneity of the influence of tourism on poverty alleviation, whereby certain dimensions of tourism contribute to poverty alleviation in the long run and others do so in the short run. Based on these findings it is recommended that BRICS countries harness their tourism potential and promote intra BRICS tourism to maximise the positive impact of travel and tourism export receipts on household consumption, which catalyses poverty alleviation.

title: How to Promote Ethnic Village Residents' Behavior Participating in Tourism Poverty Alleviation: A Tourism Empowerment Perspective
abstract: Local villagers are regarded as the main part of tourism development in the ethnic village, their participation in tourism poverty alleviation has a vital impact on sustainable tourism development and poverty reduction. Based on the planned behavior theory and capacity approach theory, we investigated the influence of tourism empowerment on ethnic village residents' behavior participating in tourism poverty alleviation, especially focusing on the mediating effect of participation willingness and the moderating effect of participation ability. We took Zenlei Village in Sandu County of Guizhou Province in China as research subjects and analyzed 239 valid samples through the structural equation model and hierarchical regression. The results indicate that: (a) Tourism empowerment has a remarkable positive effect on participation behavior.  Participation willingness plays a partial mediating role between tourism empowerment and participation behavior.  That is, the positive relationships between tourism economic empowerment, tourism psychological empowerment, and participation willingness would be stronger when villagers have higher participation ability. Whereas, participation ability has not yet played a moderating role between tourism social empowerment, tourism political empowerment, and participation willingness.

title: Tourism, Poverty and Carbon Emissions in Newly Industrialized Countries
abstract: Poverty has become one of the major concerns in Newly Industrialized Countries (NIC) NIC are shifting from primary sectors to modern sectors, such as tourism, which are envisaged to improve economic growth, employment and eventually minimize poverty. On the other hand, the sector is likely to cause carbon emission, a factor which has created several debates in academic research. To contribute to this academic research, the study examines the effect of tourism on poverty and carbon emissions in NIC. To achieve this purpose, the study employs the Pooled Mean Group model from 1995 2017. Two regression models are used namely: the poverty and carbon emission models. The poverty model reveals that tourism activities promote poverty alleviation both in the short run and long run. On the other hand, the carbon emission model suggests that tourism activities contribute positively to carbon emissions in the long run. Furthermore, the results suggest that tourism activities may have a larger effect on carbon emission over the long term. Based on the results, the study therefore recommends the introduction of measures to accelerate sustainable tourism which will strike a balance between the current as well the future impact of tourism activities.

title: Tourism, poverty reduction and rentier state in Iran: a perspective from rural areas of Turan National Park
abstract: The current study focused on the impact of policies adopted by rentier states on tourism plans and poverty reduction from the viewpoint of Stakeholders in rural areas of Turan National Park, Iran. A qualitative face to face interview were undertaken of 30 respondents through snow ball sampling technique. Due to the geographical isolation of the area and traditional ways of living, the rural people there suffer from severe poverty. In recent years, the Iranian government has made efforts to reduce poverty through the development of tourism in these areas by means of mandatory plans and government budgets. The results showed that government supported tourism has been able to reduce poverty to some extent, and it has increased opportunities, job skills and willingness of the poor to participate. However, the centralized administrative structure of Iran is in contrast with the participation and sharing of power to all groups, including the poor. Such a structure, indeed, is keen on implementing its plans in an imperative manner.
