Abstract: SNV and the Rwanda Tourist Board (ORTPN) hosted a regional tourism workshop in Kigali Rwanda in October 2006. The workshop drew on action research by SNV advisors in 6 countries and brought together SNV partners and advisors from East and Southern African countries. The workshop also drew on technical input by the Overseas Development Institute. This in turn drew on the emerging strands of international research, by ODI and others, which are helping to reveal how tourism affects local participants, and which contextual factors or initiatives can enhance those impacts. The toolbox of incentives presented here, which draws on the workshop materials and discussions, is intended to be of use to decision-makers in Africa, particularly in government, who wish to harness tourism more effectively for local economic development.
