dc.description.abstractThe evolving global tourism industry increasingly emphasizes sustainable practices benefiting both the environment and local communities. Community-Based tourism (CBT) in the Indian Sundarbans exemplifies this approach, preserving cultural and natural heritage while fostering grassroots socio-economic development. Through qualitative research methods including in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis, this study reveals CBT's positive impact. It showcases successful cultural heritage preservation, community engagement in conservation, local empowerment, and economic diversification through tourism activities. Furthermore, CBT facilitates cultural exchange, education, and responsible tourism practices. This research provides nuanced insights into CBT's multifaceted benefits, offering valuable lessons for sustainable tourism development in ecologically sensitive areas worldwide. By raising awareness among communities, tourism planners, and policymakers, this study aims to support successful implementation of CBT initiatives in diverse tourist destinations. © 2024, IGI Global.
