Community based Tourism - Best Practices

[Nahar]

Friends,

I am looking for manuals / catalogs of successful CBT initiatives anywhere from the globe. We are in the middle of developing a manual.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

I am not sure, if all the cases presented were successful ones, but, please check the conference presentations from http://www.seprat.net/seminar2013.  There are cases related to community-based tourism from over 12 countries. The videos of the plenary sessions (+ some parallel sessions) as well as the conference proceedings will be available by the end of the October at the same page.

Another thing, we are at the moment finalizing a development tool for community-based tourism created in COMCOT –project (An innovative tool for improving the competitiveness of community based tourism, http://pk.emu.ee/en/comcot ). It should be ready by the end of October as well. The tool (more or less a development process) focuses on the northern European context, though, but it is based on 6 real life 2,5 year pilots conducted in Finland and Estonia.

 

I hope these help a bit!

 

Best regards

Anne

Dear Susana,

Thanks indeed for sharing the Solimar link, in fact i had referred to their work earlier as well. The Solimar initiatives are truly inspirational projects.
