Abstract:
The interaction of tourists and marginalised population groups in developing countries has remained poorly researched. In particular, the relevance of tourism for street children as one of the most vulnerable groups in urban agglomerations has never been investigated. In this contribution, the situation of street children in Antananarivo, Madagascar is analysed. The paper seeks to discuss whether tourism encourages begging, thus increasing the number of street children and depriving them of access to education — which would represent a process of long-term disempowerment — or if tourism supports the survival of human beings living on the edge of society, as claimed by pro poor tourism advocates.
