Malaysia is internationally regarded as a popular rural destination because of its natural heritage. Rural tourism is increasingly viewed as a panacea for increasing the economic viability of marginalized areas, stimulating social regeneration, and improving the living conditions of rural communities. This study explores local community involvement in a rural tourism development in Kinabalu National Park, Sabah. We explore how the local community perceives their involvement in a local rural tourism development and look to identify the benefit of tourism destination development for this community. To address these objectives, we employed quantitative research methodologies and a sample of 378 respondents drawn from villages surrounding Kinabalu National Park. Sampled residents indicated having positive perceptions of tourism development in the area. Local communities enjoy being involved in the tourism sector because it improves their key income resources and quality of life.

“…An approach that can be found in the literature relates support mechanisms to the rural tourism enterprises (Nilsson, 2000;Ray, 1996;Toledano & Gessa, 2002). Public support for tourism business located in specific areas -mainly peripheral areas -has also been studied in empirical works (Barke, 2004;Hummelbrunner & Miglbauer, 1994;Nilsson, 2000;Nilsson et al, 2005;Urbano, Vaillant, & Toledano, 2007). While many of these papers explore various aspects of support policies, there is a general paucity of conceptually based empirical research to analyse the manner in which the policymakers operate on tourism businesses promotion.…”

It is now well known that service industries, and especially the tourism sector, significantly contribute to economic and social development in the European Union. Intrinsic to the growth of the tourism industry has been the public interventions that, directly or indirectly, have facilitated the development of this sector. In this context, this paper aims to contribute to the knowledge on the design and implementation process of support policies for tourism businesses in Spain, using institutional economics as the theoretical framework. Based on a comparative case study, the article shows that despite the relevance of the legal system, the most important factors for the promotion of the tourism business are the socio-cultural ones.
