abstract: 'The purpose of this paper is to discuss potential of the Orang Asli
(Indigenous people) communities in Malaysia to escape from poverty
through tourism activity. Poor and poverty are identified as key
challenges in developing effective Orang Asli communities. The high
level of poverty is closely related to the type of work, the problem of
land ownership status and low education levels among Orang Asli
communities. These problems not only hinder the development process, but
also being obstacle to the integration effort of Orang Asli cluster with
the current national progress as achieved by other ethnics (Malay,
Chinese, Indian). Majority of the Orang Asli who live in rural areas are
still relying to the traditional economic system which focuses to
self-sufficiency and dependence on forest resources for survival. These
economic resources are seen could not guarantee employment and good and
stable income to them due to low market prices or defrauded by a middle
man who controls the price of goods sold. Besides that, other problems
arise among Orang Asli are migrations many of the youth to city area due
to lack of job opportunities that could ensure their future. `Pro-Poor
Tourism'' (PPT) is an approach that aims to use tourism medium as a
strategic method to reduce poverty among the marginalized communities.
PPT implemented in many developing countries as a way to improve the
local economy by providing employment or micro enterprise spaces. To
ensure the success of this approach, specific rules should be identified
in which tourism businesses and tourists are directly and indirectly can
be developed to generate benefits for the poor. This is because the PPT
is defined as tourism that provides a net benefit to the poor. PPT is a
holistic approach to tourism development and management aimed in giving
opportunities for the poor to get benefit from it. In addition, tourism
has an advantage compared to other sectors in its ability to reduce
poverty. This is clearly proof that tourism is a diverse industry and
has more room for participation, especially from the informal and small
sector. Through tourism, the customers are welcome to buy products and
at the same time could offer opportunities to extend the market and
sales and to establish networks. Tourism products can be developed
through the nature resources and cultural goods that are priceless asset
that belong to the poor. However, the Orang Asli communities hardly
understand on how the assets could be commercialized and the benefits
that can be generated via their own assets. On awareness that poverty
should be eradicated and not inherited, the tourism sector through the
PPT approach is believe could be a source of income, particularly for
Orang Asli communities and other communities in general. Therefore, this
study is carried out to produce a conceptual framework of implementation
of PPT to help reduce, and eventually stop the poverty among Orang Asli
Communities. Through the framework, it is hoped could be a reference for
the Orang Asli communities to be involved in the new job sector and
ensuring they would gain a better source of income.'
