The paper evaluates the anticipated benefits and the perceived host community support for ethno-cultural tourism resource development in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling technique was adopted for this study. Six local governments’ areas were chosen purposively because they accommodate different ethnic and cultural diversity within the state, representing about 33% of the total number of 23 LGAs in the state and have an estimated population of 1,639,621. The selected LGAs are also heterogeneous in terms of ethnicity, culture and religion. Semi-structured interview were administered to 316 respondents selected in the study area. Survey data were obtained through focus group discussion (FGD) in each ethnic community. FGD”s were held with youths, elders and aged. The sampled communities are Ham, Fulani, Hausa, Kagoro, Adara and Gbagyi, field observations were also carried out for holistic resource inventory in the ethnic communities. Documentary data were obtained from desk review method; information on tourism resources available in each ethnic community. The study reveals that the anticipated benefits of ethno-cultural tourism expected by the host communities are basically in terms of infrastructural development (road, water, electricity and communication services) and essential amenities (accommodation, restaurant, Tourist Travel Services, banking and bureau de change). The study recommends that lack of financial capital is a great hindrance for local communities to invest in the tourism industry. A mechanism for financial assistance, including provision of soft loans, needs to be in place in order to encourage host communities to invest in the industry. In turn, this would

Child Labour has become devilishly ubiquitous with negative implications on Nigerian child’s development. Unfortunately, most researches concentrated on child labour issues at national level while little exists in literature at state level particularly Katsina. The study investigated effect of child labour on children’s education in Katsina State using descriptive survey design. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 216 child labourers from three senatorial districts of Katsina States. Structured interview schedule was used to collect data on respondents’ socio-economic characteristics, involvement in child labour, causes and effect. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in analysing data. Level of child labour in the State was high. Poverty, lack of uniform, books and problem of transportation fare were push factors. Majority perceived effect of child labour on education to be unfavourable. Being too fatigued for school work and to read, constrained enrolment in school, inability to recall learned experience and dropped out, lack of appraisal ability and disruption of school attendance were major effects. Significant correlation existed between level of involvement in child labour, causes and perceived effects on education. Family type and mother’s occupation showed significant relationship with effect. Causes of child labour involvement were major determinants of effect. Result provided support to show that level of child labour involvement was worrisomely high. Total free and compulsory primary and secondary education in the state should be taken serious and sanctions mated to parents who may attempt to deny their children schooling opportunity.

Introduction. Tourism industry is one of the most promising and rapidly developing sectors of the global economy. In modern conditions of increased competition in the global market of tourist services, the problem of increasing the competitiveness of the tourism industry in Latvia is becoming more urgent, and studying the issue of the competitiveness of regional tourist markets is particularly relevant.

Factors that hinder in the successful development of regional tourism, external and internal, has been revealed. The importance of combining the efforts of a number of territories to form a common tourist offer and its promotion both the level of Latvia and internationally. Successful initiative that promotes the development of regional tourism is a creation of tourism clusters at the national and regional levels. As a promising direction for the development of regional tourism, it’s possible to point out the expansion of the circle in territories of Latvia that have received resort status. Rural tourism contributes to development of regional tourism, but there is a certain range of problems that impede the attractiveness of this type of tourism for foreign tourists. In the order to gain a competitive advantage, Latvian regions need to step up their efforts to form an unique tourist offers. More marketing activities to promote regional tourist product in local and foreign markets require attention. Conclusions. Latvia has high potential for regional tourism, but there are a number of factors hindering its development. In analysis of regional tourism development programs Latvia has shown that regions are trying to conduct active work of the development, support and regulation of foreign and local tourism. It is necessary to develop measures to improve the tourism management mechanism, which would face coordination and cooperation among the various actors, avoiding disproportionate regulation and inefficient use of resources. In the framework of promoting the development of regional tourism, it is necessary to combine efforts of both the state and local governments, and entrepreneurs and other parties who can be involved in the tourism sector.

Cultural tourism is an increasingly visible trend in the tourism industry. The chapter is one of the first academic studies to specifically analyze the possible impacts of cultural tourism on the local culture itself and the wellbeing of the host community while highlighting cultural conservation as a mediator. The study utilizes primary data collected from rural areas in the Himalayan Gilgit Baltistan region in Northern Pakistan. This region has experienced a significant rise in cultural tourism due to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). As a result, there has been a significant and visible development of touristic facilities in the region. Hence, there is a visible shift from earlier tourism, which was mostly linked to mountaineering adventure, to more relatively mass cultural tourism. The results suggest that cultural conservation serves as a partial mediator and that cultural tourism tends to positively and significantly influence the host community's wellbeing, and cultural conservation partially mediates this relationship.

<p>This study analyzed the entrepreneurial engagements of women in 2 selected tourism areas in the Philippines. Specifically, it examined the respondents’ profile and their business; assessed the women’s enterprises as to employment generation, promotion of sociocultural authenticity of host community, support to agricultural and coastal endowments of the area, and economic empowerment of women. The women’s engagement in tourism-related enterprises may be a manifestation of a sense of ownership, themselves being born and growing up in the locality. They expressed a sense of pride especially in receiving outsiders whom they regarded as visitors of their home community. They articulated that their livelihood helped promote their way of life, place, resources and products. Most women’s enterprises in Tigaon were highly dependent on tourism. Although the same may be said of Caramoan, the women there were more enterprising and possessed some level of business resilience as they had set up other enterprises to get by while tourists were not around. More entrepreneurs from Caramoan than Tigaon came across tourists from other regions and abroad. The women’s engagements were isolated from the mainstream of the tourism industry. Their businesses were struggling amidst strong and stable competition from big capitalists who owned the resorts, hotels and food businesses. Data revealed that the livelihood activities of women were still very small and minimal. Consequently, the enterprises had insignificant and negligible generation of employment. The gender-based issues faced by the respondents were those that relate to reproductive work such as tight household budget, home concerns, sickness in the family and too much work. Tourism development in both communities should give preferential option for small entrepreneurs. The women may organize themselves to enhance social capital.</p>
