Abstract
Ethiopia remains to be one of the poorest countries despite its fastest economic growth. Reducing poverty requires pro-poor growth. As the measurement of impacts of tourism at macro level does not give the full picture of the impacts on the poor, this study has gone some way towards assessing the alignment of tourism in combating poverty in Bale eco-region, Dinsho district, Ethiopia. Kebeles were stratified into five strata. After proportionate sampling used to select sample from each stratum, simple random sampling was employed to contact 368 individual observations then. The study was designed to be descriptive. Primary and secondary data sources were used. Data were analysed using both the descriptive and inferential statistics. Income was the main poverty measurements. The findings showed that tourism is neither strongly aligned against poverty nor the low living standards of locals.
