Community based tourism vacations
In community based tourism residents, often rural, economically marginalised, invite tourists to visit their extraordinary communities. At least part of the tourist income is set aside for projects which provide benefits to the community as a whole – such as provision of education, healthcare, access to clean water. Decisions about how tourism is managed are made collectively by the community.
