Local involvement in tourism development

Why is it important?
The article describes and discusses four phases of the process of local involvement in a tourism development project: step 1, formation of a representative project group and negotiation of community-based approach; step 2, consulting local stakeholders and employing a mixed-methods approach; step 3, elaborating results with local stakeholders; step 4, increased community collaboration. If these steps are not managed successfully, the risk of causing interest conflicts and exclusion, rather than harmony and inclusion, in the process of tourism development is imminent.
