Community-Based Tourism

By Santosh Bhagwan

Community-Based Tourism is a comprehensive exploration of how tourism, when rooted in local participation and cultural heritage, can promote economic prosperity, cross-cultural understanding, and environmental stewardship. This book is designed to provide an in-depth examination of the principles, practices, and challenges of CBT, with a particular focus on its potential to create meaningful connections between visitors and local communities. As tourism continues to expand globally, the need for sustainable practices has never been more pressing. CBT offers a way forward, not just as a trend, but as a philosophy that places local people, their knowledge, and their natural resources at the heart of the industry. The book begins with introduction to tourism, which sets the stage by offering a foundational understanding of the tourism industry.
