Participatory Rural Appraisal on Tourism and Development

The KIDP is a long term project aimed at improving the socio-economic conditions of the population, in a sustainable way. This report details the findings of PRA work carried out to assess the impact of tourism in the area, an "industry" which is rapidly increasing. There is a brief description of the methodology and timetable, but the bulk of the report is the findings from the different areas studied. These include a general description, land use and housing as well as the impact of tourism on the economy, infrastructure, culture and the environment. Numerous diagrams are illustrated, as well as the findings from a questionnaire survey of local shops and hotels. These findings are summarised in the final section.
