THEME 9: COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IS IMPORTANT BUT<br />
BE REALISTIC<br />
• Community participation within and support for a tourismled<br />
local economic development initiative must be<br />
maximised.<br />
• Nevertheless, in developing countries, the limits of<br />
community participation also need to be recognised.<br />
• It is naïve to assume that a participatory tourism<br />
development approach will alter the existing structure of<br />
the tourism industry without changing the dominant<br />
socio-economic and political structure of a locality.
