دور السياحة في تحسين واقع المجتمعات الريفية

This research deals with the importance of non-agricultural activities, especially tourism, in improving the status of rural communities by improving their standard of living, increasing and diversifying their incomes, and reducing poverty rates. By testing these hypotheses, this study shows that households combining agriculture and tourism obtain a higher income average, have a greater capacity of spending on food and non-food, compared with other families that only do agricultural activities.
