“…Governments of many developing countries are actively promoting homestays as these provide additional income, employment (Chipumuro & Lynette, 2011;Razzaq et al, 2011) and assist in distributing the benefits of tourism to rural areas (Beliveau, Castagna, Cicchetti, & Jacques, 2012;Pusiran & Xiao, 2013). However, host communities may not be able to take advantage of the benefits of homestays and certain sections of the community may get benefits over others (Mura, 2015). Often rural communities and development planners hold divergent views, which lead to the failure of the tourism development plans (Chalip & Costa, 2012;Cole, 2000).…”

“…Case studies in the Himalayas have shown that (mass) tourism, initially touted as a means of economic and infrastructural development has ultimately incurred negative consequences for their ecology and culture (Cole, 2000)). Recently, rural tourism and homestays have emerged as a solution to this unregulated tourism development dilemma in developing countries and India, gaining popularity among tourists as well as host communities (Mura, 2015).…”

An upsurge in popularity of homestays has provided newer economic opportunities to remote Indian Himalayan communities. Despite the benefits homestays offer, their acceptance by mountain communities is fraught with challenges. This qualitative research study has listened to and given voice to homestay scheme non-participants, community members from 15 villages in the Kullu region. Through thematic analysis, rational, understandable reasons leading to decisions not to engage are identified: socio-cultural; practical and apprehensions. Reasons include an inability to comply with certain guidelines of the scheme, inadequacy in sanitary infrastructure, gender roles, complex socio-cultural issues and also home model issues, which all condition the scheme implementation. The concept of 'deliberate non-participation' is advanced which extends previous typologies of community participation. Further theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed along with recommendations for future development of the homestay scheme.

“…Furthermore it demonstrates that whereas the bulk of scholarship concentrates on hotels, including of lifestyle hotels, there has been a notable recent burst of writings around newer forms of lodging (Manning et al, 2018). Among these are of home-based accommodation in many developing countries (Kontogeorgopoulos et al, 2015;Mura, 2015;Sood et al, 2017;Walter et al, 2018) as well as the global boom of the accommodation sharing economy (Guttentag, 2015;Guttentag & Smith, 2017;Visser et al, 2017;Guttentag et al, 2018).…”

“…Cohen (1993: 374) proposed that authenticity was a 'socially constructed concept.' Some researchers have suggested that authenticity is not a tangible asset but, instead, is a judgment or value placed on the setting or product by its observers (Moscardo and Pearce 1999;Xie and Wall 2002), and that it can therefore be understood as an individually constructed, contextual, and changing concept (Mura 2015). The authenticity targeted today by heritage festival tourism is a blend of both two functions.…”

Author argues that Culture, Technology, and Tourism (CTT) is an integrated mult idisciplinary. Therefore, author explores dimensionality of CTT Theory fro m various perspective. The results are: 1) local wisdom is the essence of the authenticity of cultural heritage; 2) local community as the actor should has the role to protect environment in order to ensure sustainability of touris m; 3) mult istakeholder network should be managed as a pattern of complexity that characteristic of an integrated mult idisciplinary; 4) creative economy and sociopreneurship as the enabler and driver of tourism entrepreneurship to ensure sustainability of touris m; 5) s mart touris m that leverage the technology should be constructed through destination management in order to ensure sustainability of touris m and the authenticity of tourism; and 6) body-mind and hedonic-eudaimonic should be integrated to manage tourist's well-being. Refer to general system theory, author explains a CTT theory through relationship between those six results of dimensionality through input, process, output, and outcome relat ion.
