Synopsis

This research discusses the origins, meanings and purposes of sustainable tourism, from an idealist perspective to a marketing strategy, and to a concept with real potential for making a positive change: community-based ecotourism (CBET). By exploring and evaluating some critical success factors of CBET, this publication explores to what extent 'sustainable tourism development' can serve as an engine for economic growth in emerging destinations. Having volunteered as Project Assistant to the SwissContact WiSATA project for tourism destination development in Flores, Indonesia, between July 2012 and June 2013, the author chose this case study for the report. The project is centred on the establishment of Destination Management Organisation (DMO) Flores.
