“…CBT initiatives are small enterprises. In this respect, CBT also overlaps with responsible tourism (RT) to seek an approach that "benefits local community, natural and business environment and itself" [87] (p. 314). CBT thus very clearly identifies with distributive and social justice, ethical relationships and equity, from its rootedness in the locale/community.…”

“…Ellis and Sheridan [114] emphasized the active role of government in bridging the theoretical and practical challenges that might arise between external stakeholders (academics, NGOs outside of communities) and local stakeholders (NGOs and communities), especially in lesser developed countries. Drawing from a case-study of Kumarakom, India, Chettiparamb and Kokkranikal [87] argued that besides voluntary codes of conduct by/for the tourism industry itself, some sort of regulation, enforcement and coercion is needed from the government in providing social equity and community well-being for responsible/sustainable tourism to be effectively operational. Wight's [115] earlier study of the Province of Alberta, Canada, argued that an active government role was more effective in balancing tourism development goals harmonizing society, economy and environment rather than economic-focused goals led by the private-sector marketing body.…”

An Integrated Approach to “Sustainable Community-Based Tourism”

2016

Two rich knowledge domains have been evolving along parallel pathways in tourism studies: sustainable tourism (ST) and community-based tourism (CBT). Within both lie diverse definitions, principles, criteria, critical success factors and benefits sought or outcomes desired, advocated by different stakeholders ranging from quasi-governmental and non-profit organizations to public-private sector and academic interests. This poses significant challenges to those interested in theory building, research and practice in the sustainable development and management of tourism. The paper builds on a previous article published in Sustainability by presenting an integrated framework based on a comprehensive, in-depth review and analysis of the tourism-related literature. The study reveals not just common ground and differences that might be anticipated, but also important sustainability dimensions that are lagging or require much greater attention, such as equity, justice, ethical and governance issues. A preliminary framework of "sustainable community-based tourism" (SCBT) is forwarded that attempts to bridge the disparate literature on ST and CBT. Critical directions forward are offered to progress research and sustainability-oriented practices towards more effective development and management of tourism in the 21st century.

“…This often leaves local people as the objects of development but not the subjects of it (Mitchell and Reid, 2001). This can also be problematic from an environmental perspective, given any increase in tourism volume will necessarily have a corresponding increase in negative impacts (Chettiparamb and Kokkranikal, 2012).…”

This article analyses the potential for tourism development in the young island nation of Timor-Leste, arguing that tourism could provide an important source of economic revenue, employment and cultural exchange. However, tourism can be a 'double-edged sword' and its successes are not always guaranteed. This article identifies that while Timor-Leste's stakeholders wholeheartedly support tourism, they have concerns about its development, preferring a community-based or 'pro-poor' model. Further, tourism decision-making in Timor-Leste is centralised and current government action does not align with tourism planning or stakeholder wishes. To date there has been limited research on community support for tourism in small-island developing economies; this article, therefore, provides a timely addition to the literature.

“…In other words, tourism is a social creation, which deals with the many desires of people of the modern industrialised world. Besides this, tourism is a ground in which many individuals interact and discuss with one another which creates a sense of unity (Chettiparamb & Kokkranikal, 2012). The involvement of individual of J&K in the peace process gained thrust in the year 2005 and 2006.…”

The current research aims to examine the importance of tourism development as an essential element for building peace in Kashmir and Jammu (J&K). Peace through tourism is the reduction and eventual elimination of the conditions that lead to the violence. This research has also aimed to look after religious tourism, which has great potential for rejuvenating the dormant religious beliefs of people and the cross-border trade that will open new routes for harmony by securing each other's interests. Non-probability convenience random sampling technique was used to select the sample. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed amongst 275 local residents in J&K, where 240 questionnaires were received back and found to be useful. Data was analysed by using SPSS version 21.0. The findings of current research confirm that the stakeholders and community play a major role in shaping the development and promotion of sustainable destination. Tourism contributes positively to the guest-host relationship, regional economy to increase in income and cross-cultural understanding. Further, findings of current research also disclose that tourism plays an essential role for promoting peace, which leads to cross-cultural interaction resulting intolerance, national integration, compassion, goodwill, educational standards, justice and mutual respect for each other. Implications, limitations of the study and future research suggestions are also discussed.
