Sharma, Ruchi;Kamble, Zilmiyah

Abstract

Unanticipated, unpredictable social and environmental changes adversely affect communities living in tropical constrained environment. This conceptual paper investigates the adaptations and resilience of communities earning their livelihood through the tourism sector. This chapter is built through extensive literature reviews and proposes a conceptual framework focusing on community development, sustainable development and tourism. The proposed strategic framework model highlights the need for engagement of resident community in the process of tourism development in constrained environments. It suggests that the community participation will be helpful in effective policy planning, decision-making, implementation, monitoring and evaluating policies. The significant contribution of this research is in the continuous engagement of community members in the planning of tourism activities, through the strategic framework. The insightful information on implications of community participation will be helpful for researchers, policy makers and especially the tourism industry.
