Community-based tourism (hereafter referred to as CBT), is often recognized as a perfect example of sustainable tourism development. The reason for this is mainly that local community participation in the development and practice of these projects is supposed to be high, and that the whole community benefits from the projects.Community development is at the heart of CBT. Most CBT projects are small scale and they often include community owned and operated lodges and other facilities. This would provide positive economic benefits, such as income, for large parts of the community.
