This article investigates local communities’ attitudes towards cooperation to promote community-based tourism and local heritage preservation in Kandovan, northwest of Iran. Drawing on data gathered by means of qualitative interviews, questionnaires, and participant observation, the article evaluates locals’ willingness to cooperate among themselves as well as with external stakeholders. The findings reveal a positive inclination to collaborate among locals and diverse intentions in cooperating with other stakeholders. The article advocates for a collaborative, inclusive approach that fosters mutual understanding in community-based tourism and heritage preservation to accomplish developmental objectives and promote local welfare. It adopts a novel approach in that, rather than examining the results of an ongoing or completed community-based tourism project, it focuses on issues relating to such tourism where it has not yet been established.
