It has long been established that conventional mass tourism has created negative
impacts on natural resources and local communities, with local people rarely being the
beneficiaries of such tourism, if at all. Thus, CBT is an alternative form of tourism, which
is not simply a tourism business that tries to maximize profits for investors. Instead, it
focuses on the impacts of tourism on the community and environment. When applied
properly, CBT can not only help local villagers control the impacts of tourism, but also
generate additional incomes and diversify the local economy
