Tiivistelmä
Sustainable tourism development is a crucial idea in the worldwide tourist sector, emphasizing the balanced integration of environmental, economic, and cultural aspects. This thesis examines the essential role that local communities play in promoting sustainable tourism development within the specific context of Bangladesh. This research seeks to examine the impact of community participation on the sustainability of the tourist industry. Its objective is to provide valuable insights and suggestions to policymakers, stakeholders, and practitioners who are active in determining the future of tourism in the nation. This study investigates the impact of community participation on the development of sustainable tourism. Data was collected from many stakeholders, including locals, tourist authorities, and industry experts, using a mix of surveys, journal articles, online searches, book readings, and documentary analysis. The theoretical component of the thesis focused on the pivotal role that local communities play in the development of sustainable tourism in Bangladesh.
24 respodents belonging to the possible sites provided data, and important self-administrative questionnaires as well as a corresponding comparative article analysis were carried out. Weak infrastructure, few lodging options, and low levels of community awareness were identified as the main obstacles to sustainable development. Locals' positive attitudes toward tourism development and willingness to welcome visitors, fair infrastructure availability, and rich eco-tourism potential were identified as the main opportunities. The thesis described how the innovative idea of sustainable community tourism was progressively introduced in several communities within a constrained scope and how it still managed to have a notable impact on the way of life and means of subsistence for the local populace. 70.8% of respondents thought that private business owners and government officials could build a value chain that contributes to the socio-economic advancement of those rural regions.
