“…In order to protect the environment and preserve biodiversity, it is necessary to involve all stakeholders in the implementation of ecotourism policy based on sustainable development (Kumara 2016). Sustainable community-based ecotourism development aims to understand residents' views on actual implementation based on sustainable practices (Theingthae 2017). In ensuring the sustainability of ecotourism products, it is necessary to pay attention to the safety of visitors, the quality and authenticity of service, while respecting cultural sensitivity and environmental protection (Pomering et al 2009).…”

“…CBE has tools for biodiversity and natural environmental protection, including the protection of cultural heritage, economic development and favorable government policies that empower the local community involvement in sustainable management to build sustainable community development. Environmental sustainability can also get help from sustainable ecotourism, which effectively manages the implementation practice and longterm maintenance of natural resource planning for future generations to use (Theingthae 2017). Ecotourism development will provide an opportunity to local people to support the sustainable use of culture and heritage sites.…”

“…Ecotourism development will provide an opportunity to local people to support the sustainable use of culture and heritage sites. At the same time, revenues generated from culture and heritage sites will be used for conservation and maintenance (Theingthae 2017). Attracting a large number of tourists to ecotourism destinations while focusing on long-term maintenance of an area's unique environment can create economic benefits for the community development and contribute income to the local people (Gilmore et al 2007).…”

The development of community-based ecotourism (CBE) has the potential to preserve biodiversity and protect the environment, as well as play an important role in the socio-cultural, economic and politically sustainable development of the community. This paper assesses the implementation of CBE development and compares the sustainability of ecotourism development between the Zhabagly community and the Abaiyl community. The data is obtained mainly through the household questionnaire survey, field observations, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. 222 representative families were surveyed with 5-point Likert scale questions in this paper including 166 Zhabagly and 56 Abaiyl participants. The study used 18 indicators based on 4 dimensions: environmental, socio-cultural, economic and political. Results from this analysis indicate that the sustainability of CBE development in two communities is slightly different in all 4 dimensions. Zhabagly community is more successful in achieving sustainable CBE development than the Abaiyl community. The results reveal that the overall evaluation of the two communities on sustainability is moderate. However, both communities demonstrate that, potentially, they are politically unsustainable. As a result, we initially assert that the sustainability of CBE development in the Aksu-Zhabagly nature reserve (NR) is far from perfect. In particular, the positive economic and political impact of tourism development is not obvious. To address this shortcoming, tourism development organizations need to jointly develop a design policy for the sustainable development of CBE.

“…Although many positive values are offered in the concept of ecotourism, this model still leaves criticism and problems with the implementation. Some criticisms of the concept of ecotourism include environmental damage, low participation, and mismanagement (Buckley, 2009;Mirsanjari, 2012;Koens, et al, 2009;Theingthae, 2017).…”
