The Impact of Rural Tourism on the Poverty Vulnerability of Aging Rural Households
As the world’s population structure is aging and China is at a critical stage in consolidating the results of poverty alleviation, this study intends to explore the pathways of the elderly group, which is very vulnerable to falling back into poverty, to prevent or slow down the possibility of this group falling back into poverty. In this study, 79 elderly farmers’ data were collected by household interviews as research samples, and the Vulnerability as Expected Poverty index was selected to measure the dynamic changes of poverty in aging farmers in Donglu Island Village. The correlation between the participation of aging farmers in the tourism industry and their own poverty vulnerability was analyzed through multiple linear regression. It is found that whether aging farmers participate in tourism is not correlated with their absolute poverty vulnerability. Whether aging farmers participate in tourism is significantly negatively correlated with their relative poverty vulnerability, and developing rural tourism and increasing the participation of aging farmers can alleviate the poverty vulnerability of aging farmers. Finally, with the mindset of “teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”, the development of rural tourism suitable for aging farmers is proposed.
