Constructive collaboration with host communities while maintaining their traditional culture is crucial when planning tourism ventures, particularly if ensuring sustainability is considered important. This paper investigates the cultural sustainability of Jeju Island in South Korea and whether collaboration with community-based tourism ensures this sustainability through in-depth interviews with local residents. The first part of the interview focuses on cultural components to assess the current situation of cultural sustainability on the island, and the second part is related to that collaboration. The findings of the interviews indicate that: (i) there are certain negative indications of cultural sustainability in that Jeju people holding informal power became vulnerable in the face of tourism demand; (ii) several barriers exist in the facilitation of community-based tourism collaboration notwithstanding the beneficial trends, and (iii) there is a strong relationship between collaboration and cultural sustainability. It is also noted that the collaboration itself does not coincide with the actualization of cultural sustainability so long as current power disparities exist. The study delivers significant implications to the tourism policymakers and practitioners on how sustainable tourism development should be planned and operated to secure a long-term benefit especially focused on how the local community should be involved in the overall development process.

The paper recapitulates some characteristics of tourism which make this activity convenient to the contribution of poverty alleviation. Concrete examples in Viet Nam show that efficient participation of local community in tourism can help to improve their living standard. Through community-based tourism, benefits gained by local people are innumerable such as income raise, stable work, enrichment of knowledge, etc. Simultaneously, they enhance their responsibility to tourist activities, protection of environment, preservation of local culture and traditional craft. Community-based tourism not only takes an active part in poverty reduction, but also proves to be a good approach towards sustainable tourism development in Viet Nam.

Tourism is one of the sector that manage to grow exponentially, it can be seen from the increase in the income of the country from tourism sector which is expected to support the country economic' growth (Ing Wu cited in Putri et al., 2018). Tourism development in Indonesia currently based on sustainable tourism development. This is happened because the policy of sustainable tourism development will use the natural resources and human resources for the long term (Sharpley, 2000). Bromo Tengger Semeru National park area is one of the 10 priority destination that is created by the Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia to expedite sustainable tourism development in Indonesia.As one of the main tourism destination in Indonesia, Bromo Tengger Semeru National park area has many attributes that can attract domestic and international tourists namely: the variety of attraction with more than 10 tourist attractions, local culture attribute, history and natural resources that become main attraction that define Bromo Tengger Semeru national park from other tourist destination. Those various attribute represents tourism in East Java as a whole (Rahajeng, 2008). The level of sustainable tourism can be measured based on three criteria namely: (1) There is no depletion of natural resources, (2) There is no pollution and other negative effect on the environment, (3) tourism activity must be able to increase usable resources and replaceable resources (The Ministry of Environment, 1990). Sustainable development must be based on the long term use of natural resources and continual nature preservation (Eko, 2019). Sustainable tourism development can only happened when the balance of ecology aspect of the tourism destination and social and economy of the local community is achieved while at the same time still authentic and environment friendly (Andres, 2018). Sustainable economically means long term investment that is done now must be useful for the future generation for the long term (Ivan, 2017). Tourism development is one of the main sources of environment degradation even though it brings positive effect for the wellbeing of the society. Tourism sector is one of the contributors of environmental damage when building new infrastructure causing pollution, farming area is changed to tourism infrastructure. In the social aspect the change of people source of livelihood, from farming to working in the tourism business, the change of the local culture, work ethics, the local culture is diminishing (there is no more architecture with traditional local style. Local community is also in the risk of getting too dependent on the tourism sector such as accommodation and restaurant business. The price of the land will be increasing due to a sudden need of land to build tourism infrastructure (Sumiati, 2018). In the social and culture aspect, the behavior of some of the people is changing, some of them will asked visitors to pay extra, forced visitors to do the activities that they are not interested to, and doing touting illegally which will disturb the visitors (Abimanyu, 2010). This practice will reduce visitors satisfaction, because honesty of the people who work in the tourism industry directly is one of the most important factor that influence visitors satisfaction (Andres and Artal-Tur, 2018). Keywords: Sustainable tourism management model, Ecotourism, National tourism development.

This model could also escalate the community participation and emancipation in their development process through enabling tourism activities surround their area. However, the raising numbers of community-based tourism villages that mostly appear with similar product characteristic and unique selling point, for example in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, has also encouraged challenges in terms of product competition and development.

This research paper explores the economic, environmental, and socio-cultural sustainability of Delhi tourism from the perspective of tourists. Primary research was conducted among tourists based on a structured questionnaire at various tourist places across Delhi. This research paper used exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modelling (SEM) for examining and analysing the sustainability of tourism. The research findings on environmental pressure (EP) validate that tourism has been exerting huge pressure on the environment. The environment management (EM) system adopted by the tourism industry has failed in mitigating the adverse impacts of tourism and achieving environmental sustainability. The findings about economic empowerment (EP) prove that tourism has failed to achieve economic sustainability by empowering the local community. The destination governance (DG) mechanisms are directly contributing to the sustainability of tourist places. However, the findings on socio-cultural pressure (SP) fail to substantiate the argument that tourism is putting huge pressure on socio-cultural sustainability. Thus, tourism development in Delhi is not conducive to achieving environmental, economic, and social sustainability. Hence, the government should adopt proactive measures to mitigate the adverse impacts of tourism on the environment and economy integrating local communities while formulating and implementing tourism plans and programmes.
