| description | The tourism industry often views heritage as a commodity rather than a way of conserving resources. This paper clarifies the challenges faced by Community-Based Tourism (CBT) from the perspective of heritage resources consumption caused by tourism development with the aid of a countrywide database. Hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis are performed on 549 communities endorsed by government and non-government agencies. The results reveal three major clusters: nature-based ecotourism, group of buildings and historical district-based shopping tourism, and cultural landscape-based agritourism. These clusters share resource-based interests and perspectives on tourism management. Each cluster exhibited the identity of CBT, was associated with local management, and represented how individuals interpret their heritage. This data helps and supports tourism policy changes at both local and national level. |
