Description
Summary:The economic transformation produced by tourism sometimes has a positive influence on reducing poverty, but other times it does not.

Specifically, the study will analyze how a certain negative mood state, anomia, influences the fact that managers do not consider it advisable for their companies to become involved in reducing poverty.
