COMMUNITY BASED TOURISM AS SUSTAINABLE TOURISM SUPPORT

Abstract

Community-based tourism is now as an alternative to being able to provide community welfare and community empowerment towards sustainable tourism. Once the importance of community participation in village development becomes a sustainable tourism destination, it has encouraged Community Based Tourism (CBT). The purpose of this paper is to: examine the problem in community-based tourism development; examine strategies that can be done to be sustainable. The methodology of this study is: secondary data obtained from literature studies, scientific articles, then compiled, analyzed, and concluded. The results of the assessment show that community-based tourism is often said to be something that is in contrast to large-scale tourism. Local people in general do not have enough information, resources, and strength in solving various decisions, so that local people are only objects and are very vulnerable to exploitation. The strategy undertaken is a program of coordination and transition between relevant agencies or institutions, in field planning, implementation, and implementation of participatory monitoring and evaluation. In the long term vision, the strategic goals and Action Plan to be implemented are one stakeholder, also supports the development of partnerships supporting authenticity, supporting, developing a negative environment, and strengthening management and supervision through collaborative and participatory collaboration.
