For inclusive growth and sustainable development of SHG and women empowerment, there is a need to provide an environment to access quality services from financial and non-financial agencies. While banks cannot reach all people through a ‘brick and mortar' model, new and advanced banking technology has enabled financial inclusion through branchless banking. By using artificial intelligence in banking, banks have a cost-effective and efficient solution to provide access to services to the financially excluded. Digital technology improves the accessibility and affordability of financial services for the previously unbanked or underbanked individuals and MSMEs. A big data-driven model can also be helpful for psychometric evaluations. Several psychometric tools help evaluate the applicant's answers which aid to capture information that can help to predict loan repayment behavior, comprising applicants' beliefs, performance, attitudes, and integrity.

The Right

It is widely accepted that tourism, given the right conditions, can be an important instrument of economic growth and a means of improving the quality of life for the societies in which it is implemented, particularly in developing territories. International financial institutions are aware of the role that tourism can play in this regard and, accordingly, have included it within their strategies to further sustainable development and financial inclusion. The World Bank is one of the institutions working to foster tourism, although, interestingly, it only began working in this area very recently (2016). This paper analyses the role of the World Bank in the inclusive financing of tourism as an instrument of sustainable development and compares it with the finance allocated to another four sectors in the branch of trade and industry. To this end, using a system of indicators previously tested in the literature, it analyses a total of ninety-two projects directly related with tourism, trade, manufacture, services, and housing construction activity. The results obtained, when compared to the finance allocated to other sectors of trade and industry (to which tourism also belongs), indicate that the World Bank’s financing of tourism could sharpen its focus on financial inclusion, which would ensure greater efficiency and efficacy in the attainment of its poverty reduction and development goals.
