- Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine (1) ecotourism activities that promote community empowerment and (2) cultural values and indigenous knowledge that can support ecotourism growth. The technique employed is a form of normative legal research. (1) Ecotourism activities encourage community empowerment aimed at strengthening the role and participation of the community in tourism development for the purpose of obtaining economic, socio-cultural advantages from tourist development; providing equal opportunities for all members of society. Consequently, the development of community-based tourism requires coordination and cooperation as well as a balanced role between various elements of stakeholders, including the government, the private sector, and the community; and (2) cultural values and local wisdom that can support the development of ecotourism demonstrate that many cultural values and local wisdom can be explored and developed through ecotourism activities to support economic empowerment and community development. These cultural values and local wisdom exhibit themselves in numerous forms and activities, including customs, mentalities, and communal conduct.
