Abstract

The nexus of tourism and poverty, and controversies around 'pro-poor tourism', are at the forefront of tourism debates in the global South. Existing scholarship is dominated, however, by research on international leisure tourism. Business tourism is under-researched as compared to leisure tourism. Given the enormous scale and importance of business tourism in contemporary Africa, this oversight requires correction including in pro-poor tourism scholarship.
