Create an argument on why would you recommend for countries to pursue community-based tourism to achieve sustainable tourism development? What are some of your considerations?
community-based tourism puts local communities at the forefront of decision-making and resource management and involves them in the planning, implementation, and benefits of tourism activities
empowers them economically, socially, and culturally and fosters a sense of ownership and pride in their heritage
-
visitors are given authentic experiences that reflect the true essence of the destination, promoting cultural exchange and understanding
through valuing and supporting indigenous knowledge and practices, countries can safeguard their cultural heritage from the homogenising effects of mass tourism
tourists have the opportunity to engage with locals, participate in cultural activities, and learn about traditional lifestyles firsthand
authentic interaction fosters meaningful connections and promotes cross-cultural understanding, encouraging responsible behaviour and respect for local customs
often emphasise responsible environmental practices, such as waste management, energy conservation, and habitat preservation
by promoting eco-friendly activities and minimising the carbon footprint of tourism, countries can protect their natural resources for future generations while still reaping the economic benefits of tourism
-
mitigates overtourism by dispersing visitor traffic to lesser-known destinations and encourages the development of alternative tourism destinations
promotion of off-the-beaten-path experiences means that countries can alleviate the pressure on popular tourist hotspots and distribute the benefits of tourism more evenly across regions
