Understanding Community-based Tourism (CBT) and Ecotourism (CBET)

CBT is a sustainable travel approach rooted in the principles of responsibility and community empowerment. Unlike conventional tourism steered by private travel entities, community-based tourism keeps the reins in the hands of local community members. The most significant distinction? The benefits flow directly back into the community, rather than trickling away. Through CBT, local communities are encouraged to protect their culture and environment while minimizing the negative impacts of tourism.

CBET, on the other hand, interweaves ecotourism principles, further emphasizing the conservation of both cultural and natural resources. It’s not just about sustainability; it’s about thriving sustainably. The beauty of CBET is the dual focus – fostering the well-being of the community while ensuring the surrounding environment remains untouched and preserved.
