“…As a response to conflict, planning has been highly regarded throughout the CBT literature (Al Haija, 2011;Jordan, 2015;Schianetz et al, 2009). Community participation in relationship to tourism planning has been studied as a response to mitigate potential or occurring conflict (Jamal & Getz, 1995;Keogh, 1990;Simmons, 1994).…”

“…Community participation in relationship to tourism planning has been studied as a response to mitigate potential or occurring conflict (Jamal & Getz, 1995;Keogh, 1990;Simmons, 1994). The participatory planning process has also been highly supported as a means to achieve consensus-building among CBT stakeholders (Jones, Glasson, Wood, & Fulton, 2011;Schianetz et al, 2009); however, Dallen (1999) noted that many of the participatory planning principles were being practised, while others were not being integrated into the process. Integrated planning is mentioned in the literature as a means of involving available resources, visitors, and the community (Loulanski & Loulanski, 2011).…”

Conflict management within the context of community based tourism: an exploratory study

Community based tourism (CBT) as a concept offers a multitude of opportunities and benefits; however, there are numerous challenges in achieving such positive outcomes in real world communities.While conducting the review of the literature, the term 'conflict' emerged as a concept that could be used to describe many of the challenges occurring within CBT and the term 'conflict management' was recognised as the process responsible for positive or negative outcomes during the CBT process. The research gap became evident through the realisation that conflict and conflict management had not been specifically studied within the CBT context.To address the research gap, the purpose of this study was developed: to explore conflict and its management during CBT initiatives. To initiate this process, a model of conflict management was developed after reviewing both the CBT and conflict management literature.As a result, an original contribution towards understanding conflict management was developed, which was presented as a linear model.The conceptualisation of the linear model involved an 'instance' of conflict occurring, followed by a 'response' to the conflict, which then initiated an 'impact' on the CBT project. To determine if this logic was appropriate, a systematic review of the CBT literature was then conducted to assess the context of these three CBT-related concepts. This review determined the linear model to be a logical progression and also distinguished which CBT related concepts were most frequently mentioned as being 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts'.The five research objectives developed for this study were 1) to explore instances of conflict that occur within CBT initiatives; 2) to investigate the conflict management techniques used to respond to the identified conflict; 3) to explore how the response to the conflict impacted the CBT initiative; 4) to determine whether the proposed model of 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts' provides an initial understanding of the 'conflict theme' components that can be identified when addressing conflict management during CBT; and 5) to consider how the investigation of 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts' of conflict in CBT can inform future projects to increase the likelihood of success. Page | iiTwo stages of the exploratory research design were undertaken to attain qualitative data from CBT examples across the globe from representatives of four CBT stakeholder groups affiliated with CBT development: community, government, non-governmental organisations, and private enterprise. The first stage was an online survey, which investigated the conflict themes of 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts' across the four stakeholder groups. The respondents were invited to participate in the second stage and the results were used to inform and develop the Stage 2 interview guide. During the Stage 2 interviews, the Constant Comparative Method (CCM) was used to acquire a dataset that constantly grew in detail and richness due to the evolution of the intervi...

“…The complexities arising from those global political, economic and social forces that bear down on tourism strategy-making, notably the demand for greater local control over the development process (Hall, 2000;Keogh,1990;Ritchie, 1993;Getz, 1983), have led scholars to locate tourism policy development within broader fields (Getz, 1986;Laws & Le Pelley, 2000) especially global change science (Farrell & TwiningWard, 2003;Kerr, Barron & Wood, 2001) stakeholder, and network theories (Sheehan & Ritchie, 2005;Jamal & Getz, 1995;Schianetz et al, 2007;Arnaboldi & Spiller, 2011;Bramwell & Sharman, 1999). These approaches reflect 'the plurality of organisational interest groups' (Treuren & Lane, 2003, p. 4) and can be seen as 'powerful organising perspectives' (Dredge, 2006, p. 271) in understanding relational conceptions of policy-making (Tyler & Dinan, 2001b, p. 461;Franch, Martini & Buffa, 2010).…”

Place-making is crucial in tourism destination as how it evolves and develops over time plays a significantly role in destination's sustainability. As ecotourism is often perceived as an excellent tool for promoting sustainable development, including in the Biosphere Reserve (BR), any initiatives in promoting this destination, therefore, have to be in a responsible manner, representing a real experience of the destination. While there is copious of literature on ecotourism in the BRs, no research has been conducted on how place-making of ecotourism in Tasik Chini from its evolution to the current status of Biosphere Reserve. Taking into account the needs of place-making that fits the aspiration of a sustainable destination, this article aims to analyze how place-making of Tasik Chini evolved and being developed in the life cycle of Tasik Chini as an ecotourism destination, aiming at tracing on travel engagement and ecotourism experiences. The study reveals four major components that drive the place-making of ecotourism in Tasik Chini, from exploratory to contemporary towards achieving sustainable development: the state of ecotourism in the BR, who the segments are, involvement of community and the government intervention and support system. It is imperative an integrated place-making of ecotourism destination be promoted and enhanced by all stakeholders in the future undertaking.
