The Handbook on Community Based Tourism: “How to Develop and Sustain CBT” is designed to provide guidance for tourism/rural planners, NGOs, industry players and CBT organisations in deciding whether tourism could work for a particular community and if it is feasible, how to participate in the tourism industry and sustain it over
the long term. The handbook recommends a step by step approach in which each step is supported by a list of actions. Although it is recognised that one size does not fit all, this handbook can be adapted by communities at various stages of tourism development.
