The Measurement and Temporal and Spatial Evolution of Tourism Poverty Alleviation Efficiency in the Liupan Mountain Area of Gansu Province, China

Poverty is a chronic problem all over the world. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in 2012, the Chinese government has continuously increased its poverty alleviation efforts. In addition, absolute poverty in China was eliminated by the end of 2020. Tourism has...
