Community-Based Tourism (Cbt) Moving Forward: Penta Helix Development Strategy Through Community Local Wisdom Empowerment

Abstract

This paper highlights the key stakeholders' influences on the local community's involvement in CBT development. Further, this paper explores the potential of Penta-Helix multi-stakeholders collaboration as a viable CBT development strategy. Through systematic content analysis, this paper explores the link between CBT, the Penta-Helix development model and how it intertwines with local community wisdom empowerment. This paper identifies three gaps in community-based tourism: i) Shortcomings from the top-down tourism development planning system, ii) the need for more collaboration between the community and the tourism stakeholders and iii) the lack of community local wisdom empowerment. This paper reflects on the nexus between tourism and local community wisdom inclusiveness, particularly in the CBT sustainability realm. This paper highlighted how the Penta-Helix cooperation could be achieved through optimising the community's local wisdom role through collaborative actions by the academics, business, government, and media as tourism core stakeholders.

Empowering Tea Tourism through Community Participation: A Conceptual Study

“…These procedures encompass socialization, community service, training based on needs, and the establishment of tourism awareness groups (Hermawan et al, 2023). Nonetheless, CBT development poses challenges such as inadequacies in top-down planning, the demand for more collaboration between stakeholders, and the scarcity of community local wisdom empowerment (Azwar et al, 2023). Despite the obstacles, community empowerment programs in tourism villages have produced positive results such as enhancing the economy, developing the village, and augmenting human resources (Achmad et al, 2023).…”

“…This investigation, on the whole, presents valuable perspectives on the potential of tea tourism in the Ooty region and its alignment with SDGs, emphasizing the importance of community involvement and sustainable practices for tourism development.

The participation of local residents in displaying their cultural legacy to tourists is a fundamental aspect of this strategy.…”

Exploring the Nexus of Food Destination Reputation, Perceived Value of Local Food Consumption, and Food Destination Attractiveness in Melaka, Malaysia

“…Destination reputation creates a unique picture of the destination at every level of interaction (Su et al, 2020). This involves stakeholders, encompassing tourist attractions, services, fundamental infrastructure, tourists, local residents, local administrators, and businesses, which is essential in improving the destination's reputation (Azwar et al, 2023). Nevertheless, out of all mentioned elements, limited studies still explore the impact of "local food" on destination reputation development.…”

Measuring Tourist Preferences and Behavior Toward Smart Tourism Destination Planning

“…Moreover, the notion of smart tourism destinations integrates technology and sustainability, promoting sustainable progress and aligning with the technology acceptance model, as supported by various scholars (Azinuddin et al, 2022a;2022b;2022c;Azwar et al, 2023). Recent literature also underscores the importance of sustainability principles and their practical implementation, integrating green IT, smart energy, and waste management into tourism development, with an emphasis on technology adoption and sustainability attitudes (El Archi et al, 2023).…”
