Abstract
The chapter explores the crucial role of community-based tourism (CBT) in promoting inclusive participation and sustainable development in tourism destinations. Utilizing qualitative research and case analyses, it examines how CBT empowers local communities by enhancing their involvement in decision-making and benefit-sharing. The chapter discusses strategies such as community ownership of tourism enterprises and capacity-building programs that foster inclusivity and social cohesion. It highlights CBT's contributions to cultural preservation and environmental sustainability. The findings emphasize the need for stakeholders to integrate CBT principles into tourism strategies, positioning local communities as vital partners in achieving sustainable development and resilience in tourism.
