Abstract: Understanding the relationship between poverty and tourism is essential for leveraging tourism as a tool forpoverty alleviation. The core objective of this study is to determine whether tourism has a positive effect on povertyreduction or whether the development of the industry fails to generate significant changes. This research analyzes theimpact of tourism on reducing both poverty and income inequality, particularly examining how the arrival of internationalvisitors affects poverty levels and income distribution. The results indicate that income from tourism has alleviated povertyto a small extent but has not been sufficient to fully address it. Moreover, tourism has clearly failed to reduce inequalityin wealth distribution. These conclusions are supported by several forms of Gini coefficients, which show no substantialimprovement in income inequality as a result of tourism development
