Rapid Rural Appraisal Techniques: their application to geographical studies of tourism

Publication year: 
1992

This paper examines the application of RRA to geographical studies of tourism. The rationale for adopting RRA in this subject is discussed and the nature of RRA is introduced and its relevance to field geographers discussed. Some techniques are presented, and the user-perspective (i.e. of communities) examined in detail. The paper concludes that RRA is of use to geographers studying tourism in developing countries where the quantity and quality of data are often variable. It is noted that its application in tourism has yet to be widespread.
