Abstract

Transitional economies are faced with economically underdeveloped regions that have the capacity
for sustainable tourism development, but potential entrepreneurs lack the necessary funds. Banking for poor and
pro poor strategies have mutual objective i.e. poverty decrease. Modifying the banking for poor products in
accordance to the need of local tourism entrepreneurs would offer the possibility for local development. This
development would contribute toward the creation of new employment of local residents. More over, it would
have a direct economic impact on the local village economy and wider area. Banking for poor proved itself as a
strategy that is successfully reducing poverty. Focusing on the pro poor banking for tourism activities, it may
become efficient strategy for local sustainable development of specific regions. After presenting the impact of
banking for poor on entrepreneurship development in poverty regions, the purpose is to analyze whether
modification of banking for poor products could support the pro poor tourism entrepreneurship.
