The Indigenous people of Malaysia are a heterogeneous community scattered over more than 852 villages in Peninsular Malaysia. This community has been identified to be among the poorest and marginalized in Peninsular Malaysia. This study evaluates the well-being factors as well as problems that hinder the development of an Indigenous community in Peninsular Malaysia. This article adopted a quantitative approach based on data collected through survey and 2,136 respondents were interviewed. The study reveals that the Indigenous community is likely to remain poor in terms of economic status significantly because of insufficient access to basic education and the inability of being employed. This is also due to the inability to receive support for housing, economic livelihood, and other social infrastructures. In addition, the study indicates that economic status and access to education are the most significant factors that may help improve the overall well-being of an Indigenous community. This finding also suggests that the social and environmental aspects in Peninsular Malaysia have not improved together with economic development.

“…The descriptions of the tours can be found in Supplemental Material S1. The types of PPT tours and the basic descriptions of the tours were adapted from actual tours in Africa, such as those described in Hadi et al (2013), Briedenhann (2011), Ashley (2006), and Ashley and Roe (2002). The program was set within the context of South Africa for two reasons: (1) South Africa suffers from a high level of unemployment and widening income inequality, and (2) South Africa is experiencing growth in its tourism industry, and policy makers have emphasized the development of PPT (RSA 2012).…”

“…PPT also initiates to empower the poor and enable them to obtain full access to resources, participate in decision making, and control their lives, for example, by enabling them to decide which tourism activities to participate in (Knight 2018). To explore WTP regarding this PPT initiative, in the manipulation, “the local workshop” is set up as one of the fictitious PPT tours that allows village women to attend and learn handicrafts and business skills and was adapted from actual tours described, for example, in Hadi et al (2013) and Briedenhann (2011) (please see the Method section for details).…”

Pro-poor tourism (PPT) strategies enable the poor to benefit from tourism. This study applies economic and marketing theories in the exploration of PPT. It investigates behavioral economics in tourism by evaluating the framing effects of marketing materials on tourists’ willingness to pay for PPT products. It integrates framing and persuasion theories in the PPT domain and follows a 2 × 3 factorial between-subjects design. Strong messages alone and weak messages with positive or negative images are found to lead to greater willingness to pay. More than half of the study’s respondents were willing to pay more if certain fees went directly to the poor. Different framing effects were found between a tour focused on participation and a tour focused on capacity strategies.

“…In the revised literature [6], there is a clear picture of how tourism-related education at a destination improves quality of life [11]; the increasing competition in the tourist industry between destinations and between companies in a destination are in turn factors that induce the constant training and/or tourist education; these capacities of the residents (entrepreneurs, employees and merchants) allow to formulate strategies of competitive advantage for their organizations.…”

Abstract. The present quantitative study with a descriptive design tries to determine the conditions of "social prosperity" of three Mexican cultural tourist destinations, Yanhuitlán, Huejotzingo and Peña de Bernal. These places face similar conditions in aspects like marginalization and poverty but with activities like tourism have tried to reverse these adverse conditions. The objective was to know the perception of their population about the improvement of their living conditions as a result of the tourist activity through the application of surveys carried out in the chosen destinations. The instrument used was a questionnaire with a Likert scale to facilitate the response of the informants and the processing of the information. For the validity and reliability of the measurement instrument a factor reduction analysis and a Cronbach's alpha were elaborated, after which a one-way ANOVA was elaborated to know the differences of means taking the Bonferroni and Scheffe tests. The results show a significant difference between the averages of destinations in how residents perceive prosperity in the selected tourist destinations.
