Summary. Rural women in China who start tourism businesses reduce poverty across multiple dimensions beyond income alone. The study identifies five pathways: improved physical and mental health, increased cultural literacy, greater participation in public affairs, better living environments, and enhanced self-worth. Tourism entrepreneurship provides rural women with feasible routes to alleviate knowledge poverty, rights poverty, and overall human poverty while promoting sustainable rural development.
