Abstract:Purpose: this article presents a conceptual framework for examining community tourism as a sustainable livelihood through food tourism, considering the significant increase in community-based tourism in Mexico and the impact this activity has on rural and vulnerable destinations. The main aim of this research is to generate a proposal for a set of sustainable tourism indicators for rural and isolated communities through food strategies geared towards tourism development. Methodology: this information can then … Show more
“…The condition of the community in Petak and Cepaka villages is in stark contrast to the findings stated that they are very vulnerable to developing community-based tourism, while in both villages developing community-based tourism is fully supported by the community (Sosa et al, 2021). This support is an indicator of the sustainability of a tourist village (Murphy et al, 2011;Sgroi, 2022).…”
During the Covid-19 Pandemic, many villas were closed, but many rural communities still needed to rebuild tourism. This study aimed to analyze local communities' involvement in packaging tourism villages in Cepaka and Petak villages during the Covid 19 pandemic to make them sustainable. This research is qualitative. Data and information are collected from stakeholders who are the primary sources. The informants were ten people in Petak village and 16 in Cepaka village. Focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted in two villages, and in-depth interviews were conducted with all key informants using structured interview guidelines. The data analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative analysis. The findings of this study are spontaneous and induced community involvement in packaging the potential for village tourism and spiritual nature to provide economic, social, and environmental benefits. Developing tourist destinations that consider social, economic, and environmental values has a balanced impact on society and business and ensures sustainability. Touches digital marketing creativity in packaging, improves product display quality, and accelerates information dissemination with unlimited coverage. The packaging of the Cepaka tourism village and the Petak spiritual nature tourism through synergy and collaboration with MSMEs and stakeholders enhances the destination's image.

“…(1) Local food and drink are the most important attractions of sustainable island tourism. The reasons why this is important to sustainable island tourism are based on the multiplier effects of tourists' food consumption, the carbon footprint reduction without food transportation, and tourism reflexivity, with its uniqueness and comparative advantage [42,[88][89][90][91][92]. Sims [88], Clark and Chabrel [86], and Ilbery et al [87] thought that local food and drink could improve the economic and environmental sustainability of tourism.…”

“…Mota et al [3] thought that the carrying capacity evaluation dimensions of island tourism are its infrastructure, the environment, economics, and society. Sosa et al [42] thought that the sustainable tourism indicators for community-based food tourism are socioculture, the environment, tourism, and economics. The dimensions of socio-culture include the local population's knowledge of the culinary culture, including its recipes, traditions, and methods.…”

The purpose of this study is first to propose a comprehensive evaluation model for sustainable island tourism, and then to provide guidelines and suggestions for the development thereof. Based on the advantages of using fuzzy set theory, this study’s method included the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM), the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), the analytic network process (ANP), and FDM- DEMATEL-ANP (FDANP). From the literature review results and experts’ surveys, the dimensions of the evaluation criteria for sustainable island tourism are governance, economy and finance, socio-culture, and the environment. Compared with other studies, its major contributions and differences are the governance and finance dimensions, and the evaluation criteria for the marine industry, marine cultures, and marine environments. The findings show that the relative importance of the dimensions from high to low are economy and finance, governance, the environment, and socio-culture. The top five key criteria begin with having an official administration organization, having a tourism industry, and revenue uncertainties based on public health events. These, along with policies and regulations, and local food and drink, are thought to provide the necessary conditions for sustainable island tourism. The implications for theory and practice and future research directions are discussed.
“…The answer to this question becomes vital for tourist destinations since, in the struggle for attracting tourists, they have to make a significant promotional effort to be noticed and chosen. Regional or national cultural distinctions are significant tourist drivers [45].…”
Community-based tourism represents an opportunity for sustainable socioeconomic development, helping local populations to emerge out of lower living conditions. This paper investigates the perceptions of tourists and stakeholders engaged in Community-Based Tourism (CBT) in Central Asian countries (including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan) as an opportunity for sustainable development. This study’s purpose is to point out the usefulness of a combination approach of stakeholders’ and tourists’ perceptions to address the opportunities of CBT that can improve the quality of life of the tourism community in Central Asia by identifying the pitfalls of practices and determining challenges for tourism policy. Using a mixed-method approach, two complementary methodologies are simultaneously conducted. (1) An in-depth interview approach with sixteen selected experts in the region was processed with semantic network analysis for the definition of the main challenges and opportunities facing CBT as an enabler of sustainable development, considering the perceptions of sustainability from the point of view of stakeholders. (2) An online survey involving one hundred twenty-five tourists to the region was carried out to focus on tourists’ perceptions of sustainability. A structural equation modelling technique was used to identify the influence of tourists’ sustainability preferences and their involvement with local communities on sustainability perceptions. The results highlight the benefits the community receives, as well as future opportunities to obtain more advantages from tourism practices within the scope of sustainable tourism planning.
