The book delves into the intricate relationship between tourism and poverty, with a specific focus on nature conservation areas. It argues that although the concept of pro-poor tourism has often linked tourism with poverty, limited research has examined this link from diverse perspectives, including those of developed and developing countries where poverty can understand in absolute or relative forms. The book considers the voices of local residents in these areas, particularly the impoverished living in tourist destinations in Vietnam, which is essential for influencing conservation efforts and making poverty alleviation more achievable. Readers gain an understanding of why tourism and poverty alleviation are crucial for every economy within the context of nature conservation areas.

The book is a pivotal resource for scholars in tourism, particularly those focused on teaching and researching tourism geographies and sustainable development. It holds particular significance for scholars examining emerging nations across Asia.
