Call for Papers (Abstracts due by October 11th)
Session: "Identifying "Community" in Community-Based
Tourism"
Society for Applied Anthropology, 68th Annual Meeting
March 25 - 29, 2008
Memphis, TN
Session Abstract:
Community-based tourism (CBT) is a growing form of
tourism development that is designed to rectify the
disparities in management and benefits distribution of
conventional tourism. In practice, however,
community-based tourism has faced a number of
challenges. Among these is the identification of
community itself. A consideration of experiences in
community-based tourism show several persistent
patterns, including the importance of scale and
temporality in identifying community at different
levels of analysis. This session rethinks the term
"community" in Community-based Tourism in light of
recent findings.
Session Organizers:
