The purpose of this article is to report on a research project in the field of tea tourism. The project’s aim was to identify the prerequisites and critical success factors for and to suggest the adequate strategies to achieve an effective pairing/partnership between the tea industry and tourism/leisure activities. Drawing on the blended theoretical foundations of sustainable tourism development, community-based tourism, and strategic marketing planning, this study first analyzed the tea offering as a tourism asset. It then suggested the appropriate pairing between tea offering and tourism/leisure activities. The suggested framework for managing the partnership was empirically tested and validated within the Chinese context. Findings allowed one to form a comprehensive and integrated set of key issues and elements to take into account. Clear and specific development aims along with the necessary conditions are leading to the determination of suitable strategies and adequate actions. The study also indicates the key elements for the successful integration, effective pairing, and sustainable operation of tea tourism offering. The study is completed by summarizing management implications and guidelines for involved stakeholders to attain expected outcomes from sustainable action plans.

This paper examines the typical ways in which mass tourism has utilized cultural heritage as a salient asset for development. Tourism has long focused on extraordinary, exotic and grand heritage assets at the expense of ordinary, mundane elements the human past that are part of the everyday lives of ordinary people. The paper argues that there are numerous ways in which ordinary heritage should be researched better in South Asia, how it might be used as a tourism resource, and as a tool for community empowerment. The paper focuses on language, Indigenous minorities, religion, traditional livelihoods, and food as exemplars of ordinary heritage with significant potential for tourism and for heritage protection.

“…In such a situation, the increasing number of tourist arrivals leads to an increase in household income for the local communities. Developing countries are blessed with tourism resources which can create wealth among the local people, such as the beaches in Costa Rica (Duim & Caalders 2008), the tea heritage tourism in Sri Lanka (Aslam & Jolliffe 2015), and cultural tourism in Mae Hong Son province of northern Thailand (Lacher & Nepal 2010).…”

The rural environment adds value to the countryside that provides socio-economic development while environmental conservation draws attention to the locals protecting the environment from deforestation. In line with the Stakeholder Theory, this study examines the impact of the rural environment and environmental conservation on poverty alleviation; tourism resources are used as a moderator to measure the strength of endogenous and exogenous variables. Data was collected from 520 respondents in Kuching and Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia. Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the hypotheses. The results of the study indicate that tourism contributes to an increase in the household income of locals; however, there is a negative relationship between rural environment, tourism resources and poverty alleviation due to the high cost of private transportation to the rural areas. The results imply that the improvement inaccessibility of public transportation to the rural areas would increase the use of tourism resources and tourist arrivals, and enhance the well-being of local communities. This study also contributes to the literature on rural environment, environmental conservation, tourism resources, poverty alleviation and Stakeholder Theory. ABSTRAKPersekitaran luar bandar memberi nilai tambah sosio-ekonomi penduduk di kawasan desa, sementara pemuliharaan alam sekitar menarik perhatian penduduk tempatan dalam melindungi alam sekitar dari penebangan hutan. Selaras dengan teori pemangku kepentingan, kajian ini mengkaji kesan persekitaran luar bandar dan pemuliharaan alam sekitar terhadap pembasmian kemiskinan serta sumber pelancongan yang digunakan sebagai moderator untuk mengukur kekuatan pembolehubah endogen and eksogen. Data dikumpul daripada 520 responden dari Kuching dan Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia. Perisian PLS-SEM telah digunakan untuk menganalisis hasil hipotesis. Hasil kajian menunjukkan pelancongan menyumbang kepada penduduk tempatan dalam meningkatkan pendapatan isi rumah. Walaubagaimanapun, terdapat hubungan negatif terhadap pembasmian kemiskinan akibat kos pengangkutan swasta ke kawasan luar bandar adalah tinggi. Kajian ini memberi implikasi bahawa perkhidmatan pengangkutan awam ke kawasan luar bandar dapat meningkatkan penggunaan sumber pelancongan, ketibaan pelancong dan membasmi kemiskinan. Kajian ini juga memberi sumbangan kepada teori pemangku kepentingan dan kesusasteraan pro-miskin pelancongan.Kata kunci: Impak persekitaran; sumber pelancongan; pembasmian kemiskinan; pembangunan pelancongan; teori pemangku kepentingan
