| Title | TOURISM AS A POSSIBLE WAY TO ADVANCE RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND ROMA INCLUSION IN THE NORTHERN HUNGARIAN REGION |
| Summary | The essay investigates the potentials of the emerging village tourism industry in the Northern Hungarian region in terms of job creation and development from the Roma minority point of view. Tourism as an intersectoral industry might be able to provide a possible solution for backwards regions to catch up, mitigating socioeconomic inequalities and contributing to the economic restructuring of the rural countryside. The most backward and isolated areas with a significant Roma population are considerably affected by poverty, high rate of unemployment where natural and cultural heritage almost overshadowed by these serious socioeconomic characteristics. Few initiatives has already been launched combining village tourism and cultural heritage of the backwards regions and the present essay attempts to support the argument that however these initiatives are at the beginning it is worth to pay attention to these programs which can be regarded as one possible way out of deep poverty and segregation. |
