Tourism is, undoubtedly, one of Thailand’s most significant industries. It is also evident that many local communities experience unfavourable changes due to unregulated influx of tourists and heightened intensity of consumption. Eco-community tourism is a viable alternative that helps community members to take control of both business and environmental management and earn additional income. The latter benefit is extremely crucial to communities that substantially rely on natural resources, such as fishing villages. A more sustainable tourism reduces the need to constantly harvest for living, allowing the environment to self-restore naturally.
