The Tourism and Enterprise Development Working Group (TEWG) aims to create a unified vision for community-based tourism (CBT), aligning local communities with their cultural and natural resources to foster sustainable tourism. Through collective benefits, TEWG focuses on improving income, employment, and skills while promoting social pride and environmental stewardship. A CBT manual will be developed for practitioners, with future recommendations for joint ventures and enhancing tourism diversification. The ultimate goal is to support livelihoods through sustainable tourism practices across various regions.
