Can Tourism Promote Inclusive Growth? Supply Chains, Ownership and Employment in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

Yes / Inclusive growth is contested yet adopted by the World Bank to reduce poverty and inequality
through rapid economic growth. Research has tested inclusive growth in sectors including agriculture, but few
studies apply it to tourism which is significant for many developing countries. The paper interrogates tourism-led
inclusive growth: supply chains, economic linkages/leakage, ownership, employment and expenditure. It draws
from fieldwork in Vietnam where tourism has rapidly developed with partial economic benefits for local
communities, but does not appear to fall within the inclusive growth paradigm. It is unclear if tourism-led growth
will become any more inclusive in the short-to-medium term. / British Council's UK-ASEAN Knowledge Partnership Fund, and Kent Business School
