Some Key Principles for Community Based Tourism Development Sustainability Diversification Shared Benefits and Control Source: Adapted from Messer, C C. (2004). Community tourism development. University of Minnesota, MN
Sustainability is related to the quality of life in a community -- whether the economic, social and environmental systems that make up the community are providing a healthy, productive, meaningful life for all community residents, present and future. Source: www.sustainablemeasures.com  Principle 1: Community Based Tourism is Sustainable Tourism
Principle 2: Community Based Tourism is a Diversification Tool Tourism should be a diversification tool, not a substitute for other local industry.  A community’s ability to weather hard times is enhanced when there are several sources of economic activity.
Principle 3: Community Based Tourism is about Shared Benefits and Control
Community Based Tourism is about Shared Benefits and Control
In Port Renfrew, a ‘new world’ is built on ancient trees  -  Coastal town replaces logging with tourism "We used to depend on logging to sustain Port Renfrew. Now the tables have turned and we're looking at the tall trees as our future." quote from Rosie Betsworth, Chamber of Commerce President as the Ancient Forest Alliance and the Chamber of Commerce cemented their partnership with the opening of a new tourist information centre, where visitors can pick up a map of the area's massive old-growth trees. "Some of the older folks from the logging industry have other opinions and that's fair. This community did survive by logging in the past, but they have to understand this is a new world. This will sustain our town."

  1. Sustain – to nourishSustainability is related to the quality of life in a community -- whether the economic, social and environmental systems that make up the community are providing a healthy, productive, meaningful life for all community residents, present and future.Model 1A view of community as three separate, unrelated parts: an economic part, a social part and an environmental part. However, when society, economy and environment are viewed as separate, unrelated parts of a community, the community's problems are also viewed as isolated issues. Economic development councils try to create more jobs. Social needs are addressed by health care services and housing authorities. Environmental agencies try to prevent and correct pollution problems. Model 2A view of community that shows the links among its three parts: the economic part, the social part and the environmental part.Sustainable development improves the economy without undermining the society or the environment.Q: Does our tourism development vision and plan match the skills of the available workforce? If not, how can we build capacity internally?A sustainable community is one where development is not unlimited growth; rather it is the enhancement of what already exists in the community. A sustainable community is not stagnant; sustainability does not mean things never change. On the contrary, it means always looking for ways to improve a community by strengthening the links between its economy, environment and society.
