▼ In many developing countries,
Community-Based
Tourism (CBT) is regarded as a sustainable
tourism development tool as well as a catalyst for rural
community development through the involvement of local people and the improvement of the standard of living. To extend the involvement of the local
community in CBT, homestay
tourism is a form of operation unit and its concept aims to facilitate individual household social-cultural and economic benefit from CBT directly. Although homestays are widely regarded as providing better livelihoods directly to the homestay operators, it is not clear to what extent homestay operations actually contribute to the sustainable livelihood of homestay operators when considering the wider livelihood implications. This research seeks to explore this gap by analysing homestay operators through the lens of Sustainable Livelihood theory (Scoones, 1998). This research adopts a post-positivist paradigm with qualitative methodology. Taking a case study approach, semi-structured interviews and observations were employed to collect primary data from
community leaders, heads and deputy heads of the tourist guides, and homestay operators themselves.
Results of the study found that although homestay
tourism was initially established by the government. The study also found the main characteristics of the homestay operation are in a small size with a limitation of bedrooms, and a few family members involved in hosting tourists, which are husband, wife, and an adult child. All of these people are unpaid labour but receive benefits from the sharing of food and shelter. The study also uncovered that cash-based income, gender empowerment enhancement, and environmental enhancement were the positive impacts of homestay
tourism on the livelihoods of the homestay operators, and these positive livelihood outcomes were in line with the original sustainable livelihood framework. In addition, cultural revitalisation was found as an emerged indicator of the sustainable livelihood outcomes, which was used to extend the revised framework. However, the study discovered that opportunity costs, culture shock, and conflict with villagers were negative implications affecting sustainable livelihood outcomes of the homestay operators. The revised Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF) suggests that if these negative implications are mitigated, the overall livelihood outcomes will be even greater. The results of this study are expected to provide a deeper understanding of how the impacts of homestay
tourism on the sustainable livelihood of the homestay operators.

▼ A critical issue facing
tourism destination development is how the industry can be used as a tool to stimulate local economies and generate sustainable livelihoods. As in many parts of the world, small
tourism enterprises (STE) lie at the heart of the New Zealand
tourism industry and play a pivotal role in the economic development of many regions. As an important conduit between visitor and
community, the performance of STE can enhance or detract from visitor satisfaction with the
tourism experience as well as affect the competitiveness and sustainability of the destination.
There is increasing evidence that STE business performance can be significantly enhanced by the formation of networks, partnerships, alliances and clusters.
Tourism policy is focusing increasingly on the development of ‘dense’ networks of STE as a tool to improve the performance of the
tourism industry worldwide. Information and communication technologies (ICT) offer considerable potential to facilitate networking among small
tourism firms.
This PhD research examines rural STE network formation, the processes that underlie it, and how ICT facilitate and strengthen those processes. The thesis adopts regulation theory and the concept of flexible specialisation as tools to understand STE networks and the ways in which they can contribute to regional social and economic development. It adds to these approaches by introducing social network theory, and an understanding of the types of social relations that underpin network formation.
A case study involving a
community informatics initiative (referred to as ‘web-raising’) in Western Southland, New Zealand is used to evaluate STE network formation and the role of ICT in the development and maintenance of the network. A mixed methods approach is adopted to inform the research with data collected through a series of formal semi-structured interviews, informal conversations, observations, and a review of secondary data.
The thesis adds to the available literature on small and medium-sized enterprise networks in general, but more particularly to the sparse empirical research in the area of STE network formation in rural destinations by integrating the important dimension of
community. The study reveals the important linkages that exist between STE owners/operators and
community that are commonly overlooked in the literature. By broadening the approach to STE network development to consider the social, economic and cultural aspects of sustainable
tourism; it is argued that network formation in rural destinations should be guided by social well-being indicators, local economic development and
community empowerment. In addition, the study finds that the effective use of ICT can facilitate entry for STE owners/operators to the network by creating ‘points of collaboration’ and are an important element in creating an enabling environment in which collaboration can occur.

An evaluation of tourism communities and community responses to tourism and crime : a case study of two Cornish destinations.

▼ The growth of mass tourism has placed great pressure on British seaside destinations, and has contributed to the social costs experienced by the resident population via symptoms of changing perceptions, attitudes and behaviour towards tourism, and the presence of higher crime rates. This thesis examines the social reality experienced by residents, and determines the impacts of tourism-related crime upon two tourist communities which are experiencing high levels of crime. The comparative study of a British seaside resort and a coastal town reveals that tourism communities are influenced by individual resident opinions. Simultaneously these communities influence resident perception and behaviour towards tourism-related crime, and it is through this exchange process, that evidence of destination specific criteria has emerged. The research established that the resort community found commonality through the mutual gaze, whilst the coastal community formed closed perceptions of deviant activities through discord and the local gaze. The study concludes by arguing that a destination offering a hedonistic lifestyle will not necessarily have higher crime rates than other safer destinations. This is due to the widespread implementation of crime prevention methods in the resort, and the lack of deterrents established in the coastal town. Therefore there may be nothing criminogenic about these particular destinations. Instead, collective community perception, digressed through crime talk, has influenced community crime interpretation and individual resident evaluation of the tourism industry.

▼ This study examines issues relating to
community participation limitations in
tourism planning. It focuses on the communities associated with the Boluminski Cycling and Tigak Sea Kayaking Product Plans in New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea. Specifically, this research was to examine the perspectives of relevant stakeholders and shed light on the limitations in the participation process. The study considers the local systems that are used to overcome limitations in the participation process.
The results of the study are that stakeholder opinions focus on awareness, perceptions of
tourism, plan approach, role of stakeholders and
community views. It was found that the limitations in the
community process are of a structural, operational and socio-cultural nature. The results reveal an assortment of traditional,
community and government approaches that may be used to overcome
community participation limitations. A key conclusion is that
community systems that focus on local knowledge and semi-formal business agreements are appropriate participation frameworks to overcome operational limitations in
tourism planning.

▼ The primary goal of this study was to construct and test a Community Relations Model (CRM) that may be implemented by policy makers, tourism planners, tourism managers and tourism developers as they develop tourism policies and manage the social impacts of tourism. Five
objectives were derived from the primary research goal. The first objective was to analyse the social impacts of tourism by means of a literature study. This was achieved by examining the theoretical perspectives, framework and models for
assessing host community perceptions of social impacts of tourism. In this regard, it was found that the social impacts of tourism are an integral part of sociology. Therefore, the social impacts of tourism may not be successfully addressed without drawing on the methods and perspectives
of sociology. This indicates clearly that there is a relationship between sociology and other social science disciplines, particularly tourism management. The host communities' perceptions of tourism may be positive or negative and are critical in policy planning and management because they affect the behaviour of the residents toward the tourists.
The second objective was to analyse the role of the community by means of a literature study. This objective was achieved by examining the role of the government, the private sector and the community in managing the social impacts of tourism. It was found that the main roles of the government are to facilitate, coordinate, plan and promote development of the nations and tourists products. The private sector's roles are to invest and promote tourism as well as the
country. The community should actively participate in tourism management by seeking
partnership opportunities with the stablished private tourism sector, voluntary groups and NGO's. Although the community is expected to playa vital role in the management of tourism, it was found that their actual involvement depends on their awareness of tourism activities, on
how they perceive tourism developments and their involvement in tourism related issues.
The third objective was to determine the components to be used in order to develop and test the Community Relations Model (CRM). This objective was achieved through both literature and qualitative analysis. Evidence from the literature and qualitative analysis indicates that the Katse
community is unquestionably affected both positively and negatively by tourism developments.
It was also clear that effective management of social impacts of tourism may be achieved
through collaboration and partnership with the government, the private sector and the community. The stakeholders should work together in order to encourage the positive impacts and ameliorate the negative impacts. The community should be involved and made aware of tourism developments in their respective areas. Both the literature and qualitative study revealed the six
community relations components: namely, the positive impacts, negative impacts, the role of government, the role of private sector, community awareness and…

▼ Community based
tourism (CBT) has been one the driving forces of the growth of
tourism in Cambodia. Even though
tourism scholars recognise the importance of the
subject,
community success in Cambodia remains a relatively under researched topic in the field. One of the exemplars of success, is Chi Phat, the
community based
tourism destination in the southwestern part of Cambodia. But why?
This thesis sets out to explore the factors of Chi Phat’s success through the voices of stakeholders in order to determine if the success could be replicated by other
tourism communities. By understanding how different stakeholder groups construct an understanding of success, a contribution is made in how we manage stakeholders through understanding that success.
The study deployed a qualitative research methodology based upon the following objectives. First, to review the literature on CBT in order to evaluate factors of success. Second, to determine how different stakeholders perceive intrinsic or extrinsic factors of success for the Chi Phat CBT destination. Third, to develop a conceptual framework of
community based
tourism important factors of success. Twenty members of stakeholders including those from the
community, local and national authority, NGOs and the private sector involved in Chi Phat had been contacted for an interview by using the semi-structured interview approach.
The contribution of the thesis is to be able to make recommendations for future
community based
tourism projects by using Chi Phat as an exemplar and that the success of Chi Phat can be replicated by other emerging CBT projects.
The findings suggested that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors are extremely important to the development of the CBT. Even though stakeholders agreed on most of the factors, for instance, the collaboration and partnership, some factors were also perceived differently. However, those perceived factors contribute immensely on the success of Chi Phat.

▼ M.Comm. (Tourism and Hospitality Management)
Community-based tourism is increasingly being developed and promoted as a means of reducing poverty in developing countries whereby the needs of local communities are met through the offering of a tourism product. The Swaziland Tourism Authority (STA) with the support of the European Union Fund has made significant contributions to the development of community-based tourism in Swaziland enabling rural communities to successfully develop tourist attractions. However, whilst many community-based tourism ventures have been established in developing countries, their operations have not been monitored properly. The same scenario exists in Swaziland where, at the operational level, when the projects are completely left in the hands of the communities, these projects seem to lack the drive and stagnate. It is apparent that most of these community-based tourism ventures are faced with a number of challenges at operational level. This study, therefore, investigated these operational challenges facing community-based tourism in Swaziland. The study used the mixed methods research design whereby qualitative data was collected through in-depth interviews, focus group interviews and participant observation. Quantitative data was collected from visitors to community-based tourism ventures through questionnaires. From the findings of the study, it was clear that operational challenges ranged from poor management to lack of operational resources and impatient communities among others. The report concludes by stating recommendations to possible solutions to these operational challenges.

▼ This study investigates the extent to which the rural
community of Nonoti Beach participates in coastal
tourism taking place in their ancestral land. During the apartheid era, this
community was forcibly removed to make way for agriculture and the area was later identified for
tourism development. After 1994, the first democratic government of South Africa made it its priority to restore the displaced communities back to their land through land reform and redistribution, and the
community under study is one of the communities that received land through the land claims process. Fourteen years after the settlement was made on this land claim in favour of the
community, but the government and other stakeholders with vested interest in coastal
tourism have not delivered on the promise made to the local
community to provide them with low cost housing and to develop a coastal resort that was to benefit this
community through profit sharing and in other ways. Previous studies have been conducted on other communities with a similar experience but no study has been carried out to understand the experiences of Nonoti Beach
Community from their own perspective as a significant stakeholder as well as from the perspective of other stakeholders with a stake in coastal
tourism.
The objective of this study is to investigate the level of participation of the local
community in coastal
tourism and to assess the strategies in terms of skills development as well as strategies to assist them as new land owners to live sustainably on restored land. The role of various stakeholders to give post-settlement support and to ensure that land ownership through restoration results in sustainable livelihoods, leading to poverty eradication is also assessed. The policies regulating coastal
tourism are also evaluated to find out if they enhance or limit the local
community participation and, lastly, the model is proposed to assist in improving local
community participation, thereby ensuring that the benefits accruing to them are maximized. This study is anchored on the sustainable livelihoods framework, the Stakeholder Theory, the Social Exchange Theory and the Common Property Resource Theory.
This study was conducted using a mixed method approach and data was collected using in-depth interviews, focus groups and questionnaires in order to have a varied and in-depth understanding of the phenomenon under study. The participants in this study were the members of the local
community, which is predominantly black and two adjacent communities that are predominantly white to compare the understanding of
tourism as well as the awareness of marine and coastal governance. The other participants that were sampled are the government agencies, the district municipality, the democratically elected leadership and
tourism enterprises operating around Nonoti Beach.
The findings of this study show that the various stakeholders’ interests are often times conflicting, and this study recommends that various stakeholders come out with a coordinated plan to…

▼ This study incorporated a
community based assessment with a focus on
community based
tourism in Kalache and Hulgol, India. Kalache and Hulgol are two agrarian based communities located in the environmentally significant region of the Western Ghats. Each of these communities has considered
community based
tourism as a means to reduce urban youth outmigration, to diversify economic resources, and to encourage the empowerment of women. The primary goals of this study were to understand the
community issues and objectives, to determine the level of support for
tourism development, to determine participant attitudes toward
tourism, and to determine the obstacles to
tourism development. The findings of this project address the complexity of operating in the
tourism industry, the impacts of
tourism, and the use of
community based
tourism models in support of sustainable
tourism.

▼ In 2002 the Lao government adopted a policy for nationwide economic growth based
on the development of tourism as a priority sector. This aims to alleviate poverty
through ecotourism and pro-poor tourism, through community based projects such as
Ban Na community based ecotourism (CBE) project. This research aimed to
investigate factors influencing household involvement in CBE projects in Laos. The
impacts of the project within the village were also identified. To date little research
with this focus has been undertaken in Laos. The findings and recommendations of
this research will provide important information to the Lao Government for the future
development of strategies and initiatives concerning community participation in rural
ecotourism. This is particularly important for Laos as they are in the early stages of
developing their ecotourism industry, especially CBE projects in rural areas. To
achieve this, a single case study was undertaken focusing on Ban Na CBE project
and field data was collected using semi-structured interviews and observations, and
additional secondary sources. Qualitative data analysis methods were used to extract
the key findings.
This research confirmed that CBE has the potential to enhance socio-cultural, socioeconomic
and environmental benefits for rural communities in Laos. In socio-cultural
terms CBE increased household awareness of the value of their traditional culture,
and in socioeconomic terms CBE allowed local households to improve their
livelihoods through financial benefits. The benefits have taken place at both
community and household levels. At the community level, public infrastructure has
been improved such as water supply upgrading. At the household level, households
actively involved have gained direct income from guiding and homestays. The new
source of income has enabled households to improve their housing conditions, to
purchase farm materials and investing in their children’s education. Those
households that have not been actively involved in CBE (that include the very poor)
also benefit from selling local products and through access to the CBE village fund.
CBE has resulted in enhanced conservation outcomes for the protected area. This is
a consequence of increased household awareness of the environment and their
impact on it. However, CBE has also had negative impacts including an increase in
solid wastes and dust and noise associated with the increasing number of tourists.
Findings from this research indicate that the majority of households can benefit from
CBE projects when the management of the project includes rules that limit the level
of participation of any one household, thereby ensuring maximum household
participation and subsequent resulting benefits. In a CBE project, there is no
requirement for all households to be involved in providing services to tourists
because it is not possible for some households to provide the types of service
preferred by tourists. Although, not all households can actively participate in…

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Indigenous communities around the world are becoming involved in tourism development to gain the social, economic, cultural and environmental benefits that the sector can offer. However, limitations in accessing resources, funding, support and skill-training may reduce many of the possible benefits of tourism development. These limitations may lead Indigenous communities to either not engage in tourism development or engage in options that may not best suit Indigenous people. The lack of suitable engagement options with Indigenous communities can lead to issues such as: commodification of culture; inauthenticity of cultural representation; loss of Indigenous knowledge, heritage and values; as well as the continuous deficit of social benefits, such as education and skill-training. This study aims to examine how alternative, digital options for engagement in, and control over, tourism development may mitigate these limitations and issues for Indigenous peoples and communities, while increasing the benefits of tourism development. The research for this study was conducted with the Wagiman community of Pine Creek in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia, who possess distinct representations of culture, identity and knowledge of country, as well as a broad range of data resources, including: collections of placenames; geographic data; ethnobiology data; interviews; and access to already established tourism infrastructures. These data resources support the evaluation of digital mapping and marketing of Wagiman knowledge through Google maps, websites and mobile apps as well as the feasibility of Indigenous tourism development, the conservation of local heritage, and potentially positive social benefits and political influence for the long term. The objective of this research is to determine: 1.) The options for engaging with the Wagiman participants in ways that benefit and empower the wider Wagiman and Pine Creek communities. 2.) Whether the Wagiman people of Pine Creek wish to engage in tourism development, and if so, what the options for engagement might be. 3.) Whether digital options for engagement in tourism development are viable for the authentic sharing, conservation and promotion of Wagiman heritage to tourists, younger generations of Wagiman people as well as the wider Pine Creek community. 4.) If tourists visiting Pine Creek are interested in local and Aboriginal tourism attractions and/or would access Wagiman knowledge on digital platforms while travelling. 5.) How should digital tourism and heritage products be managed to advance longer-term sustainability. This study finds that adopting Wagiman methodologies of research, such as oral knowledge-sharing on-site in Wagiman country, as well as through digital interpretation off-site, may help promote and conserve Wagiman, and wider community, heritage in Pine Creek. Digital options of Wagiman engagement in tourism may: 1.) foster local pride and empowerment by providing access to tourism and heritage…

▼ Community participation is now widely accepted as one important condition to achieve sustainable tourism development. The twelve aims of sustainable tourism determined by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) emphasises the significance of destination community, for example, local control, local prosperity and community well-being. This is because local people are the effected groups who are most directly impacted by tourism. Based on literature, generally community participation in developing countries appears to be at a low level, particularly in participation in tourism planning and decision making which largely affects community participation in tourism operation and management, and receiving benefits. Literature also reveals several obstacles impeding community participation. Therefore, this research aims to explore how community participation works in Thailand. Although the tourism industry in Thailand has grown enormously and rapidly within the last five decades, benefits from tourism are mostly restricted to large enterprises while local people participate at low levels and gain very little despite being burdened with negative impacts of tourism in their respective communities.
This research explored issues surrounding community participation in tourism in two case study communities; Koh Samet, a community at the ‘consolidation stage’ of Butler’s Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC), and Mae Kam Pong, a community at the ‘involvement’ stage of the TALC. Forms of community participation are assessed through three issues: participation in tourism planning and decision making; participation in tourism operation and management, and participation in benefits from tourism. Both qualitative methods (interviews, participant observation) and quantitative methods (surveys) were employed to collect data from two case study communities.
‘Social capital’ was a central concept utilised to examine community participation in tourism development. This concept has been widely used in many fields at the community level, for example public health and natural resource management, however, there are few studies exploring the relationship of social capital and community tourism development. The literature that does exist suggests that communities with high levels of social capital are more likely to have extensive community participation in tourism development.
Findings from the Thai context show that community participation in tourism decision making is evidenced from the low to the high rungs of Arnstein’s (1969) ladder of citizen participation. This research explains what makes community participation different based on three themes. The first theme is that community participation in tourism development may be influenced by the social capital. The findings reveal that social capital is significantly associated with community participation in tourism development; however, social capital alone may not be sufficient to foster effective community participation in tourism…

▼ Community-based tourism (CBT) provides an attractive alternative to mass tourism. In Bali, Indonesia, it is a potentially significant contributor to tourism development. The aim of this research was to obtain a greater understanding of CBT through an examination of relevant issues, and the perceptions of the host communities and tourists regarding CBT products. This study used a mixed methods approach to collect data from the host communities and tourists who visited the villages in Bali.
Five main elements of CBT products came to light during a review of the literature in the preliminary phase of the research. Subsequently, aspects of authenticity and change for development as important features of sustainable CBT products were identified and added to the study during the qualitative phase of the research. At the conclusion of Research Phase 1, the qualitative stage, four additional elements had been identified, making a total of 10. These 10 CBT product elements were then further subdivided and formed the variables for the data collection instrument used in Research Phase 2, the quantitative study.
The Research Phase 1 qualitative results indicate that the CBT tourists clearly identified their expectations of CBT products and were supportive of a sustainable industry to preserve the villagers‟ way of life and the rural environment. However, they were also concerned about safety and hygiene. The Research Phase 2 quantitative results consistently show similar findings. Furthermore, a significant number of tourists expressed a willingness to use and consume products and services provided by the community.
As part of the research, two types of CBT tourists were identified – „overnighters‟ and “daytrippers‟. Both groups sought the same type of attractions, albeit in different degrees of intensity, yet they required different types and standards of services and facilities. The overnighter group intermingled, they wanted to experience the local culture and lifestyle, and were more accepting of the local amenities. By contrast, the daytrippers experienced a snap-shot of village life while on excursions away from their resort hotel accommodation.
The Research Phase 1 qualitative results show that the host communities were aware ofthe intrinsic value of the tourist attractions in their villages, but lacked the confidence to share them with visitors. The community respondents in this phase of the study also demonstrated limited awareness of tourists‟ needs. The Research Phase 2 quantitative results indicate an adequate understanding of CBT features, but enhancements were needed in some areas, such as product packaging, information and narration, and service provision.
Tri hita karana (THK) is a Balinese life value that has been adopted as an underpinning principle of a sustainable approach to tourism development in Bali. According to the principles of THK, a harmonious balance within and between the three relationships of a human to Universe-spirit, a human to humans, and a human to nature is necessary for human contentment.…

▼ Understanding a community’s behavior in the
tourism context is important. When
considering local residents are the major group of people who are affected by
tourism
impacts no matter if the impacts are positive or negative, residents who feel they belong
to that
community normally will try to both minimize the negative changes and maximize
the positive impacts of
tourism development. These efforts have the potential to engage
outsiders and
community members in conversations that may lead to sustainable
tourism
development and also contribute to directing efforts to either slow down or re-direct
tourism development in a way that aligns with what the
community members want.
Previous
tourism impact studies indicate the need for understanding of residents’
behaviors in relation to
tourism impacts, emphasizing the unbalanced growth of our
understanding of residents’ perceptions and attitudes toward
tourism impacts, which have
been studied extensively. This study aims to understand residents’ collective actions in
the
tourism context and the dynamics of the process through which each individual forms
his or her behaviors in response to the impacts of
tourism. Social capital theory provides
a good theoretical lens to understand the dynamics of a community’s collective action
involvement because it is strongly built on the basis of the connections among actors
within a network boundary and on social norms that delineate the quality of their
connections. In other words, this study explored the influence of social capital on the
local residents’ collective action involvement. Specifically, this study addressed three
research questions related to the role of social capital in residents’ collective action
involvement:
a. To understand the relationships between the network element of social capital and
community-based collective action related to
tourism development.
b. To understand the relationship between the social norm element of social capital
and
community-based collective action related to
tourism development.
c. To understand the relationship between
community-based social capital and the
extent of collective action in the Olle project of Jeju Island, South Korea.
The relationships between the network and social norm elements of social capital
and
community-based collective actions in response to the
tourism impacts were
thoroughly examined. This examination is based on the broad range of literature in
diverse fields that adopt the concept of social capital and led to the theoretical framework
used in this research. Furthermore, network and social norm elements of social capital
and residents’ level of collective action involvement were empirically measured by using
social network analysis, a general survey, and semi-structured interviews. Specific
hypotheses addressing their relationships were tested based on multiple regression
analysis. Considering that social capital theory is strongly based on network and social
structure, using network analysis provides relational and structural…

▼ Previous studies have found that tourism provides economic benefits to host communities, including employment, income, foreign investment, improved infrastructure and facilities. However, positive impacts are often juxtaposed with local concerns regarding the negative aspects of tourism, such as seasonality, congestion, loss of culture and foreign ownership. Much literature supports the notion that residents support tourism, as long as benefits derived outweigh any costs incurred. All the same, recent studies advocate a movement beyond traditional social impact studies, specifically to advance scholarly inquiry into how tourism impacts the quality of life (QOL) of local inhabitants and how locals with a direct economic attachment to the tourism industry perceive the connection between tourism and QOL.
Consequently, the aim of this thesis is to explore the perceptions of locals employed in the tourism industry of Ubud, particularly, the impacts of tourism on QOL. This aim is achieved through the investigation of three key objectives, specifically (i) to explore what QOL means for locals employed in the tourism industry in Ubud, Bali; (ii) to investigate how locals perceive tourism contributes to, and detracts from their QOL; and (iii) to identify the connections between perceived QOL and support for future tourism development. A series of 21 semi-structured interviews with Balinese locals employed in the tourism industry were undertaken in May, 2014. The interviews were conducted under the expert guidance of a bilingual university-educated local “gatekeeper” (See Figure 3.1), and were audio-recorded, transcribed and then analysed using open, axial and selective coding to identify common themes.
Key findings revealed the core dimensions of QOL for respondents included family, health, friends, education and the working environment. Respondents value their community and surroundings, due primarily to the village feel, scenery and climate. Overall, respondents were primarily positive regarding the influence of tourism on QOL. However some questioned whether tourism was actually necessary in order to achieve QOL. Respondents showed concern for the potential of tourism development changes to Ubud such as modern, Western style accommodation, loss of traditional farming land and increased traffic. However, many were equally appreciative of the benefits received from tourism such as job opportunities, economic development, opportunities for cultural creativity and improvements to the local infrastructure and facilities.
This research extends traditional studies that focus primarily on identifying and measuring the perceived social impacts of tourism on host communities, by providing in-depth insights into what QOL means to locals employed in tourism. Future research should consider comparing and contrasting these with perceptions of QOL of residents in host communities not directly employed in the tourism industry, and their views on the impacts of tourism and future development. In addition, future research should enhance the…

▼ This thesis examines the relationship between
community-based
tourism development and gender relations in Mukono Parish, South-Western Uganda. The research objectives are: to examine how women’s involvement in
community-based
tourism initiatives is influenced by gender relations; and in turn, how women’s involvement in
community-based
tourism initiatives is influencing the gender relations in Mukono Parish. In this PhD thesis, I draw on the concept of agency and the idea of context-based gender understanding as propounded by the poststructural feminist theory (Aitchison, 2005; Gannon & Davis, 2007; Pradan, 2005; Rosenburg, 2010). The concept of agency recognises the view that women are not passive victims of oppression, but are active agents who participate in structuring their identities and lives. The concept helped me to interrogate how women in Mukono Parish are making decisions to submit to, or resist, gender discourses and practices amidst the current
community-based
tourism developments in this locality.
Methodologically, I adopted a case study research design and privileged my participant’s individual views with their voices represented in this thesis in the form of quotations. Qualitative approaches guided me to conduct fieldwork in which I held in-depth interviews, and collected notes through participating observation activities, and informal interactions in the locality. I also remained aware of, and considered, my personal attributes as a researcher, and therefore, the concept of reflexivity became relevant to this PhD thesis. I considered ethical issues to protect my participants, and I analysed findings (while focused on participant meanings) by reflecting, discovering themes, and teaming up emerging ideas.
This thesis demonstrates that the dominant gender discourses and practices in Mukono Parish are intertwined with Christian religious beliefs to significantly influence women’s opportunities to work in
community-based
tourism initiatives. It also shows that as some women work in
tourism, some of the gender roles and relations of the locality are being challenged, while others still remain dominant. This PhD research has theoretical implications for understanding the role of social aspects including religion in influencing women’s possibilities to work in
tourism developments at the
community level. It also expresses the complex dynamics of women’s negotiations about how they are submitting to, and resisting, gender discourses and practices amidst the
tourism development opportunities in their locality. The study challenges the dominant feminist views, and gender, women’s empowerment and development discourses such as socialist feminism, liberal feminism, radical feminism and gender and development approaches (Women in Development, Women and Development, and Gender and Development), that tend to universalise the understanding and practices associated with issues of women, gender and development. The thesis also provides useful development implications by detailing complex constraints and…

▼ Increasingly, tourists and tourism companies are incorporating sacred places into their travel plans and iteneraries. While pilgrimage, in a religious sense, has occurred for centuries, many people travel to sacred sites for pleasure or spectacle. Given the lack of emperical research surrounding the impacts of this tourism to, and tourists at, sacred places, this thesis attempts to fill this void. The focus of the research involed investigating the impacts of tourist visitation to sacred places in New Zealand and the key research question asked ‘what impacts does tourist visitation to sacred places have on those for whom the place is sacred?’ In order to address this question, the research employed qualitative methods including in-depth interviews with local worshipping communities, a mapping exercise, observations, and photography at two sacred places. The two case study sites are located in Canterbury, New Zealand; both are Christian Churches. Rich data identified clear results surrounding impacts identified by the worshipping communities. Further to this, extra, valuable findings emerged from the data. The results of the research are discussed in relation to relevant literature and theory including, meaning and spirit of place, carrying capacity, tourist typologies, consumption of place, commercialisation and commodification of place and relevant practice literature. Within their current situations at the sacred places, the worshipping communities have developed coping strategies in reaction to tourism to, and tourists at, their place. The research, therefore, creates a rich picture of the impacts of tourism to, and tourists at, sacred sites within New Zealand. This picture may assist management strategies and policy as well as furthering the objectives of the sacred places and expanding the literature surrounding the topic.

▼ This thesis has addressed a gap in the literature regarding perceptions among local government in the Australian State of Tasmania towards tourism and its integration with sustainable practise. The United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO, 2008) has advocated implementing the concept of sustainable tourism at destination levels in mitigation of the negative externalities acknowledged to precipitate socio-cultural and environmental change in local communities where tourism influxes proliferated (Helbling, 2010). But the exclusivity of neo-liberal progrowth tourism policy agendas evident at National and State Government levels may have overlooked a duty of care regarding the effects of tourism influxes and prompted questions in respect of the consequences from increased demand generation and the ensuing commodification of both community and environment (Tribe, 2008; Bramwell and Lane, 2011; Buckley, 2012). Australia has since discontinued membership of the UNWTO and dialogue regarding the integration of sustainability and care of the tourism product has appeared disproportionate to the importance placed on maximising its economic contribution. This study has explored grounds for suggesting that tourism policies in Tasmania, by pursuing short-term agendas to maximise tourism’s economic contribution, may have overlooked the associated longer term social and environmental risks were the resource base on which tourism is dependent is rendered unsustainable.
Relative to other Australian States the greater importance placed on tourism’s contribution to Tasmania’s economy when coupled to the high touristic value bestowed on the State’s pristine topography (Government of Tasmania, 2013a), has argued strongly for its effective management as a sustainable resource in accord with UNWTO advocacy. The research question asked - to what extent are the UNWTO principles of sustainable tourism evident in the policies and planning practices of Tasmanian local government? A two-phase inductive research design was applied comprising a content analysis of council planning documents and interviews with local government employees. Collectively, these interrogated the local status of tourism in Tasmania and whether stakeholders from within, but also outside the State’s tourism industry, acted to progress or resist the integration of sustainable tourism. Rational choice theory was used to explore the differing responses of industry and governments (Burns, 1972; Scott, 2000, Boudon, 2009). The study determined that governmental arrangements regarding tourism’s management in Tasmania have acted to blunt its competitive edge, its amenability to the integration of sustainable tourism, and exposed the socio-cultural and environmental integrity of its communities to long-term risk.

▼ Honduras is becoming a leading
tourism destination in the Central America. In
fact, in March 2015, Honduras was inducted into the “Golden Book” of
tourism by the
World
Tourism Organization, declaring the country to be committed to “sustainable” and
“responsible”
tourism development. Indeed, “sustainable”
tourism development - as
opposed to the top-down, exclusive, bureaucratic development models predominant since
before the 1980s - are now the development paradigms states are adopting in the midst of
democratic reforms. Alternative development models are becoming popular because they
champion the active participation of the local (often marginalized) indigenous
populations in development processes. Meanwhile, more and more indigenous groups are
successfully organizing politically at the national and international levels to fight for their
claims to cultural and civic recognition as well as their right to land and its resources,
which are often times endangered by the expansion of development projects. The
Garifuna afro-descendant communities of Honduras represent one such population hoping to engage in the rapid growth of
tourism development as well as potentially
redefining their role and participation in the Honduran national narrative through
development processes. Initial fieldwork in 2012 explored the process through which
Tornabé, a local Garifuna
community, organized and obtained an agreement with the
Honduran government and national/international investors regarding the development,
construction, and management of a nearby, large-scale
tourism complex: Indura Beach
and Golf Resort. Preliminary results at the time pointed to a successful collaborative
relationship between all actors, though interviews and participant-observation methods
conducted two years later (2014) exposed more complex dynamics between all major
actors and during a different - more tense - sociopolitical and economic context. By
tracing the history of the Garifuna in Honduras and discussing the intensification of
tourism development in the Tela Bay area, this thesis analyzes the ways in which
Tornabé is attempting – and perhaps struggling – to negotiate their involvement in the
local
tourism economy while exploring the concepts of indigeneity, citizenship, and
transnational identities within the Garifuna context.

▼ The tourism and resources sectors are two of Australia’s largest sectors, both significantly contributing to the national economy (Pham, Bailey, & Spurr, 2013a). Both have shaped regional development in Australia by redefining the economic and social structure of communities (Bebbington, et al., 2008; Cheer, 2013; Kumral, & Onder, 2012). Yet, the tourism and resources sectors are major forces of structural change that can dramatically impact regions, communities and the environment (Farrell, & Twining-Ward, 2004; Tonts, Plummer, & Lawrie, 2012). Although change is an inevitable process (Davoudi et al., 2012), the prominence of economic structural change within many Australian regions is shifting attention to the management of change within community systems (Connolly & Lewis, 2010).
The change management literature for regional development has presented a number of theories to deal with and respond to economic structural change, such as Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) and Sustainable Development (Kretzmann & McKnight, 2007; So, 1990). However, such approaches have been criticised for not always considering the process of long-term structural change. Resilience is an emerging change management theory, which focuses on how change can be leveraged to achieve the most desirable outcome (Holling & Gunderson, 2002; Masten, 2001).
Resilience has been extensively applied as a change management approach within regional communities, stemming from a range of disciplinary interpretations. From a socio-ecological perspective, resilience applications often focus on crisis and disaster situations which encompass rapid forces of change. However, limited literature is available exploring resilience approaches to manage regional development and long-term structural change. The literature postulates that applications of resilience are limited, given the complexity of the term resilience and the limited availability of instruments to measure resilience to different forces of change (Holladay & Powell, 2012). Furthermore, there is minimal research that examines regional development strategies by considering these two sectors simultaneously within a single community. By examining the dimensions of community resilience and the process of long-term structural change, this research aims to explore how resilience can be harnessed to address long-term structural change driven by the tourism and resources sectors in Australia as both sectors create opportunity and disruption.
This research employed a quantitative, sequential mixed mode approach using two case studies. Through this method, the research seeks to devise an instrument to measure community resilience to long-term structural change. Using the developed instrument, the research then seeks to measure the resilience of different community segments, as well as explore possible guidelines to build resilience within the two regions, through the use of a resident survey.
The results of this research have led to the development of instruments to measure resilience to long-term…

▼ M.A. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2014.
Using Kailua as a case study, this thesis examines social change by exploring how underlying place relations are impacted by community conflict stemming from a rapidly expanding tourism industry. Ten semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with residents who were recruited from Kailua Neighborhood Board (KNB) meetings in order to illuminate perceptions regarding Kailua's 'sense of place', issues facing the community, as well as how these issues have impacted Kailua's 'sense of place'. Interviews were supplemented with field notes taken from participant observation of monthly KNB meetings and were analyzed inductively using grounded theory methodology. Findings suggested that underlying place relations not only largely affect resident perceptions of tourism, but also undergo changes in the face of community conflict since meaningful places are socially constructed.

▼ The purpose of this research employing an emergent design is to explore the experiences of micro-hospitality entrepreneurs as hosts of Airbnb properties. Specifically, this study focuses on hosts in two communities- Port-au-Prince and Jacmel "“ and whether the phenomenon of homesharing through Airbnb is contributing to
community development as other homestay programs traditionally attempt to do. As such this study asks the questions: RQ1: What is the experience of an Airbnb host in Haiti? RQ2: How do the experiences of Airbnb hosts differ between the locations of Jacmel and Port-au-Prince? RQ3: How does homesharing through Airbnb in Haiti contribute (if at all) to
community development? To explore the host experience, in depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with hosts at their properties listed on Airbnb.com in Port-au-Prince and Jacmel. The
Community Capitals Framework was used to analyze the homesharing phenomenon by examining how
community capital may increase (or decrease) as a result of participating as a micro-hospitality entrepreneur (i.e. Airbnb host). The data uncovered entrepreneurship capital (Audretsch & Keilbach, 2004), understood as the assets required to launch and sustain a successful enterprise, as an eighth capital to add to the
community capitals framework. Based on the findings, local bridging ties can significantly increase entrepreneurship capital and maximize the positive
community development outcomes associated with the phenomenon of Airbnb hosting in Haiti. Airbnb hosting can meet the need for additional accommodations in Haiti's countryside and with proper oversight be a tool for
community development.

Development of a Pro-Poor Tourism Industry in Mwanza, Tanzania.

▼ Mwanza Region in northern Tanzania is one of the poorest regions of the country. The economy of this region is mainly dependent on two industries: fishing and mining. Since both of these industries are confined in nature and won’t last forever, the city’s economy is in need of an additional industry that will provide the inhabitants of Mwanza with enough job opportunities for the city to sustain itself and hopefully develop further. Since Tanzania’s main export product is
tourism and Mwanza lies only two hours away from the most visited safari attraction of the country: Serengeti National Park,
tourism would be a good option. If managed in the right way,
tourism could even create opportunities for the poorest of the poor, such as the street children and lepers in Mwanza. Up till now Mwanza has been missing out on the benefits of the thousands of tourists coming to Tanzania every year. So far Mwanza has not been able to compete with booming tourist destinations like Arusha and Zanzibar but within the city and its surroundings lay great opportunities for Mwanza to become one of the top tourist destinations in Tanzania.
However,
tourism does not only bring benefits to the local people. It can also do a lot of harm to the
community, its culture and the environment. Examples from other countries and cities show us that revenues from
tourism attractions often leak back to developed countries and only a very small percentage stays in the hosting country. There are examples to be found of
tourism leading to cultural and economical deprivation. Therefore, it is important that the development of the
tourism industry of Mwanza is guided in the right direction, in a way that makes sure the local people, including the poor, benefit first.
During this study research has been conducted regarding the opportunities and obstacles that can be found in Mwanza City and its direct surroundings in respect of pro-poor
tourism. The main research question has been:
Which steps have to be taken to create a pro-poor
tourism industry in Mwanza City and Mwanza Region?
For the larger part the research has been an exploratory study so necessarily qualitative in nature. In depth interviews and observations have been used in order to get an image of the existing situation in Mwanza and the main opportunities and obstacles the
tourism industry is facing. A number of case studies provide an insight in the lives of stakeholders of
tourism in Mwanza. For the quantitative part short questionnaires have been used in order to find out the capacity of the attractions and facilities and the demand of the tourists.
It has been found that the
tourism industry in Mwanza, though still in its infancy, already holds the basis for a variety of attractions that could be developed into pro-poor tourist attractions. Moreover, there are a significant number of stakeholders present in Mwanza who are eager to change the situation. In this study a intervention-oriented roadmap has been developed that focuses on the creation of networks between stakeholders,…

Local residents' perceptions of community-based tourism : a survey of key stakeholders at Twyfelfontein Uibasen Conservancy in Namibia

▼ Local communities in Namibia have few options for alternative income apart from selling
crafts and livestock farming. The main objective of this study was to create an in-depth
understanding of the perceptions of the local community at Twyfelfontein Uibasen
Conservancy regarding community based tourism (CBT), and to develop strategies that
could be used to influence these perceptions with the main goal of using CBT as a vehicle
towards the improvement of local peoples' livelihoods. The study also examined structures
and institutions that impact the direction of CBT development at Twyfelfontein Uibasen
Conservancy. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed for data gathering. A survey was
undertaken by means of 67 structured questionnaires among local community members and
key stakeholders, which resulted in a 100% return rate. Five in-depth interviews with
stakeholders from government, NGOs, the private sector and financiers were also
conducted. The findings reveal that local community measure development in line with
socio-economic issues since 39% strongly disagreed that their needs are being met through
CBT project implementation. They feel that the infrastructure for tourist is well developed for
international standards, whilst conversely, community members live in squatter camps, burn
candles and live in squalid conditions.
Whilst the Namibian government has recognised tourism as a potential means of poverty
alleviation, issues of ownership of cultural heritage resources are still not yet in the hands of
locals. The study argues that tourism development has been pursued more for economic
purposes than for sustainable tourism development. Whilst the conservancies were set up as
a strategy for poverty alleviation, the study concludes that development has not yet filtered
down to the needy. Therefore, perceptions among the local community are negative towards
CBT as a vehicle for socio-cultural and economic development. This study recommends that in order for CBT development to be meaningful, local
participation through ownership, capacity building and control should have precedence over
pure economic issues. Currently, the biggest beneficiaries seem to be the private tourism
sector and, to some degree, foreign investors.
Further research should be conducted to evaluate the impact of community perceptions on
the tourist in the long - run, since tourist arrival figures continue to increase at Twyfelfontein.

▼ This thesis focuses on
community-based
tourism (CBT) projects in Ecuador. The work discusses the grade of control that indigenous communities have in this form of ecotourism and also analyses the empowerment of those groups in certain projects. This empowerment is often a result of foreign aid. Although indigenous communities often seem to be in control of CBT projects, empowerment is an issue in some cases.

▼ The goal of this study is to develop a sustainable tourism strategy for the Soshanguve Township. The motivation for this study arose out of the acute developmental challenges facing many township communities in South Africa, mainly due to the absence of economic opportunities. This results in a high unemployment rate, poverty and an elevated number of crime incidences. A sustainable community tourism strategy could alleviate this situation by availing itself of the opportunities presented by the booming tourism industry to the Soshanguve township, and other communities with similar characteristics. To this end, a firm conceptual framework was laid through the review of literature on the tourism system and indicators of sustainability, tourism development planning, tourism development in South Africa, and community tourism.
Literature on the tourism system was instrumental in conceptualising the components required for tourism development to take root in Soshanguve township, namely the potential demand for Soshanguve tourism (including tourists’ region of origin), the infrastructure and services required for visitors en route to the destination, and the readiness of the local community and tourism industry in Soshanguve for tourism development (products, facilities and services).
The concept of sustainability and indicators thereof are explored in order to provide a benchmark for monitoring tourism development in Soshanguve, and to ensure that the gains from tourism are preserved for the future. Literature on tourism development planning provided the necessary organisational dimension needed to avoid chaotic development and any potential negative impacts. Furthermore, an analysis of tourism development in South Africa was instrumental in positioning the Soshanguve tourism development strategy within the national, regional and local government context. Finally, the community tourism development component provided vital input from existing research on community tourism initiatives.
The research paradigm was both quantitative and qualitative. Following the exploratory research approach, three surveys were conducted by means of self-administered questionnaires. The aim was to explore the demand side of the Soshanguve tourism product through a survey of potential visitors to the Soshanguve township, as well as the supply side through a survey of residents of Soshanguve (ascertaining perceptions of tourism impacts on their community) and another survey of tourism business managers (to assessing product availability and quality). This process was complemented by a qualitative study by means of interviews with three community leaders to explore in greater detail the unique selling points in Soshanguve, tourism planning issues, and the objectives of tourism development in the community. The following literature sources constituted the pillars of the questionnaires, World Economic Forum, 2008:38; Keyser, 2008:37; Simpson, 2008:1 and Oyola et al., 2012:662-665. The interview questions were largely drawn from tourism planning…

▼ Volunteer
tourism is a significant feature of the
tourism industry. The phenomenon can be described as a practice where people (typically from ‘developed’ countries) participate in working holidays, generally to assist areas of need. Specifically focusing on Global Volunteers in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, this study examined the development implications of volunteer
tourism with particular emphasis on the relationship between Global Volunteers and development outcomes, the role of culture and the nature of power within the Global Volunteer programme in Rarotonga.
The study took a qualitative approach to gain an insight into the experiences, stories and understandings of the volunteers, hosts and country managers involved in Global Volunteers in Rarotonga. Semi-structured and unstructured interviews and participant observation were carried out.
The study questioned the notion that volunteer
tourism could be linked to development. Despite the positive outcomes and valuable contribution that volunteers made, there was not a strong correlation between the practice and development outcomes. The nature of power was regarded as a significant and complex aspect of volunteer
tourism. Power was revealed in both strong and subtle ways and the relationship between those involved was not merely the powerful verses the powerless. Culture was expressed as an authentic and everyday process which led to instances of cultural clashes and opportunities for cultural collaboration. However, deep cultural understanding was not easily obtained through participation in the volunteer programme.
The study argued that volunteer
tourism was neither good nor bad. However, the key feature of the volunteer programme involved the agency and ownership possessed by the host organisations to actively work with volunteer
tourism organisations to define the type of assistance that the volunteers carried out.

▼ This study examines the existing policy and planning
frameworks in relation to
tourism and local development in Namibia
and the level of integration for the respective rural communities.
The focus is on the Torra Conservancy in the north-western part of
Namibia. The specific objectives are to assess the relative degree
to which the local communities have had control in the
community-based
tourism (CBT) through the
community-based natural
resource management (CBNRM) programme in terms of rights,
empowerment and economic benefits. The study involves a
retrospective review of literature on integrative
tourism and rural
local development and through a survey of key
community based
tourism (CBT) actors in Bergsig and in Windhoek, Namibia. This
study is mainly based on quantitative approach. In addition,
thematic interviews were used, where possible, to understand and
deepen the views expressed in the survey results. Respondents
representing the three main clusters of the
tourism industry;
government, private sector and the host local communities were
examined on their interpretation of the current development of the
tourism industry in Namibia. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and
factor analysis indicated statistical significant differences
between different groups. The research findings revealed that the
extent to which local communities participate in the
tourism
development process depends on the idealistic, and perhaps to some
degree unrealistic, expectations, of
community-based
tourism in the
national
tourism policy spectrum. Since
community perceptions match
what is on the ground from development, problems are socially real
and necessitated a viable solution for amelioration. Implications
are discussed for building a more integrative policy approach that
could help guide research, planning, development and evaluation of
community-based
tourism projects.
