“…All of the above is supported by what was mentioned by Graci [101], i.e., that the empowerment of communities for the development of CT allowed the generation of the necessary means to have a sustainable life. That is why from this process, these enterprises produced an important local economic revitalization.…”

Community tourism (CT) constitutes a management model for tourism practice within communities, which was consolidated within Ecuador through the Plurinational Federation of Community Tourism of Ecuador (FEPTCE), with the Corporation for the Development of Community Tourism of Chimborazo (CORDTUCH) as the central network in the province of Chimborazo. This network, with 14 years of experience, has been committed to tourism as a mechanism for the diversification of the productive matrix of the peasant and indigenous communities that comprise it, integrating 1772 direct beneficiaries articulated in 10 CT organizations. Thus, they have managed to support actions related to land management, the equitable distribution of benefits, the valuation of natural and cultural heritage, and the organizational strengthening of communities. This support has contributed to the consolidation of “Alli Kawsay,” that is, working to achieve a full life for these human groups, generating an integral sustainability of their spaces, and contributing to the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from this other Andean perspective. The methodology employed focused on participatory action research (PAR), which allows for listening and obtaining information directly from key actors, recognizing the existence of knowledge that has not been published that corresponds to peoples’ ancestral knowledge. The aim of this research is to provide an overview of the current reality of CT within CORDTUCH, as well as the strengthening achieved in the community enterprises that comprise it. Among the main results achieved, it is highlighted that CT has become, for these communities, a tool of insurgency against extractive activities and the advance of the agricultural frontier that threatens these spaces, showing that the territories can be exploited under other approaches and through innovative proposals.

“…• Cooperation between community-based tourism and external entities (often referred to as partnerships) occurs when a community-based tourism entity (and/or its members) joins forces with an external partner such as private tourism company or a non-governmental organization (NGO) (see Graci 2012;Dłużewska, Giampiccoli 2021).…”

This article investigates local communities’ attitudes towards cooperation to promote community-based tourism and local heritage preservation in Kandovan, northwest of Iran. Drawing on data gathered by means of qualitative interviews, questionnaires, and participant observation, the article evaluates locals’ willingness to cooperate among themselves as well as with external stakeholders. The findings reveal a positive inclination to collaborate among locals and diverse intentions in cooperating with other stakeholders. The article advocates for a collaborative, inclusive approach that fosters mutual understanding in community-based tourism and heritage preservation to accomplish developmental objectives and promote local welfare. It adopts a novel approach in that, rather than examining the results of an ongoing or completed community-based tourism project, it focuses on issues relating to such tourism where it has not yet been established.

“…It is difficult for small island actors to find markets for recyclables resale on the main island. Therefore, they typically manage their solid waste through open pit burning, open dumping on land and in bodies of water, and recycling in select places [11]. Therefore, it is necessary to consider alternative technologies that can process plastic waste without transporting it to Java Island.…”

Labuan Bajo is one of the super-priority tourist destinations expected to attract more international tourists to increase foreign exchange. To make this a reality, a combination of programs that support tourism and master plans, including solid waste management, is needed. Private sectors have developed a circular economy to handle the plastic waste. However, this plan is constrained by the high cost of transporting plastic waste to recycling factories. Pyrolysis technology can be an alternative to treat solid waste without transporting it outside Labuan Bajo. A study of pyrolysis technology is needed before it can be applied, including the quantity of liquid fuel produced by the pyrolysis process. This liquid fuel can be utilised to fulfil the community demands, such as the demand for engine fuel. This research aimed to ascertain the potential quantity of liquid fuel produced by the pyrolysis process using plastic waste from Labuan Bajo. The calculation was carried out using two different scenarios: developed predictive theoretical model conversion and installed full-scale pyrolysis plant yield. The potential quantity of liquid fuel produced using the scenarios above is in the range of 3,075–2,763.83 L/day and can potentially supply 3.24–2.91% of Labuan Bajo’s liquid fuel demand.
