“…Attention was directed to what we described as a paradoxical Indigenous tourism discourse and the various problems pertaining to process and policy design that were found to be responsible for adverse socio-economic and cultural outcomes for Indigenous communities (e.g. Altman & Whitehead, 2003;Ruhanen et al, 2015;Stronza & Gordillo, 2008;Tremblay & Wegner, 2009;United Nations, 2009). Against this critical background, the attempt was made, drawing on the available literature and results from empirical work, to distil lessons for sustainable Indigenous tourism development, and we hope to have been successful in identifying the wide range of factors that influence and enable the realisation of positive Indigenous tourism outcomes.…”

“…The reasons appear to be manifold and include issues ranging from incompatibility with mainstream tourism demand (ongoing cultural engagement), seasonality and generally unsustainable low visitor interest to lack of financial resources and unresolved land tenure / land ownership conflicts (Buultjens & Gale, 2013;Ruhanen et al, 2015;Whitford, Bell, & Watkins, 2001;Zeppel, 2007). Four key factors, which can determine the success of Indigenous tourism development, are discussed below.…”

“…For example, Keynes (1936) advanced a multiplier principle using a macro-economic model that studied the relationship between the elements providing the foundation for explaining tourism effects and their related effects for researchers in this field of study. Recent international studies on the topic have typically focused on, for example, the evaluation of tourism land use (Balli, Balli & et al, 2016;Lemelin R. H. et al, 2015;Ruhanen L. et al, 2015); tourism communities' participation (Lee, 2013;Yang et al, 2013); the sustainable development of tourism (Buckley, 2012;Budruk et al, 2011;Sanagustín Fons, 2011); and tourism and environmental protection (Wells, 2015;Zu-yong et al, 2013). Meanwhile, research studies in China concerning tourism have chiefly concentrated on tourist resorts (Liu, 2003;Wu, 1998); the evaluation of tourism's resources (Jiang et al, 2004;Li, 2000;Li et al, 2013); the development of tourist destinations (Ma, 2011;Ren & Wang, 2011;Wang & Zhu, 2012); tourism and urbanization (Chen & Bao, 2012;Chen et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2008), and so on.…”
