The Role of Village-Owned Enterprises to Rural Tourism: A Scoping Review

Abstract

While earlier reviews of the literature looked at rural tourism and village-owned businesses separately. Rarely does literature specifically address the contribution of village-owned businesses to the introduction and growth of rural tourism. This scoping review's goal is to map out how village-owned businesses contribute to the implementation and growth of rural tourism. To determine the function of village-owned businesses in the growth of rural tourism, the evaluation employs a scoping review technique. The scoping review technique developed by Arksey and O'Malley (2005) contains five steps. In several nations, studies looked into Scopus databases throughout a ten-year period (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020)(2021). According to the findings of the scoping study, village-owned businesses play an important role in the growth of rural tourism as a vehicle for social capital development and village-owned media. The study offers useful suggestions for the future use of village-owned businesses in the creation of tourism attractions. The growth of tourist relies on the autonomous administration of village-owned businesses by the local community.
