    Abstract

    This chapter explores the innovative ways social enterprises can contribute to uplifting the people in South-East Nigeria through tourism. It will consider how the tourism industry can help in mitigating the economic impact of the recent global economic downturn and the social impact UK BAME-led organizations can make in this regard. It will also look at some of the distinctive needs these organizations have and their limitations such as the lack of formal structures, governmental support, economies of scale, etc. Untapped potential is investigated and innovative ways of moving forward will be addressed.
