Goal and objectives of the dissertation GoalTo write an ethnographic analysis of the rise and fall of tourism in SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, especially in Asia, between 1993 and 2013. ObjectivesTo analyse: how and why tourism, as a tool for poverty reduction, was introduced in SNV; how international and national development debates influenced tourism as a development practice in SNV; how and why tourism approaches and tools in SNV did change over time; how SNV's internal organization did change over the years, and how this influenced tourism as a development practice; how development results in tourism were measured and presented in SNV; how and why SNV's tourism as a development practice was phased out. MethodologyThis thesis contributes to 'aidnography', an ethnographic approach to study institutions, organizations and people involved in international development.Aidnography often includes notions of the actor-oriented approaches and actor-network theory and is inspired by Mosse (2005).This thesis is first based on observations gained by working for SNV and partly shaping its tourism development practice.Practices and experiences were written down in notebooks, fieldtrip reports, feasibility studies, progress reports, annual plans, etc.Second, I gathered and analysed other documents and reports reflecting the tourism development practice in SNV.Internal and external SNV documents were collected in 2009 and 2010
