This paper defines the scope, purpose and rationale of alternative tourism (AT) — a form of tourism in which the client receives accommodation in the home of the host. AT appears to offer a range of social and economic opportunities, particularly for the developing countries. The aims and methods of a research project into AT potential are specified, and the preliminary research results are reported.
Selected reports and studies are reviewed, outlining different approaches to estimating visitor expenditure and examining various methodological problems. Several issues are then related to a case study from Westland National Park, New Zealand. The review should be particularly useful for managers and decision makers responsible for commissioning economic impact studies, those interpreting the findings, and other tourism researchers.
