“…As with other emerging destinations, Central Asian countries face critical challenges for successfully working toward sustainability through the expansion of CBT [85]. These challenges are mostly related with the prioritization of the sustainable development goals in the management of the destinations, which are lagging behind the interests of local decisionmakers and tourist organizations for the promotion of CBT as a successful socioeconomic activity [86].…”

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.

“…A study by (Juliana et al, 2021) said that CBT is now an alternative to community welfare in developing villages as sustainable tourism destinations. (Alieva et al, 2021) argue that CBT is increasingly being offered and is becoming popular among tourists who want to get to know the traditions and lifestyles of local people, enjoy nature, and experience a different atmosphere of life. This type of tourism is based on utilizing the potential of tourist villages and the local economy by staying in residents' homes.…”

“…Akibatnya, CBT dan pemangku kepentingan eksternalnya harus membangun ekosistem yang memungkinkan CBT berkembang. Hal ini dapat dicapai melalui regulasi, peningkatan kapasitas, peningkatan infrastruktur, penyediaan keamanan, promosi investasi, konsesi, dan sewa yang semuanya dianggap sebagai komponen mendasar dari setiap strategi pembangunan daerah (Alieva & Usmonova, 2021). CBT adalah model yang dikritik karena memiliki dampak ekonomi yang rendah, ruang lingkup yang terbatas, dan harapan hidup yang pendek.…”

The existence of tourism development is able to become an economic driver with the emergence of new jobs for the community, besides that the development of tourism can also prevent environmental damage and loss of local culture, so that later it is hoped that the community will become more aware of tourism activities. Community involvement in tourism development is known as Community Based Tourism (CBT). The success of developing a tourist village itself is largely determined by the potential for tourism attraction that must be owned by the village, one of which is the development of indigenous people-based tourism.
