The role of the community (community tourism)

Jobs and money for locals (local economy)

Rural tourism brings many benefits:

 — New jobs in homestays.

 — More money for farmers selling food.

 — Craft makers sell more.

 — Young people learn business skills.

You can see that one visitor can help many families. A tourist buys meals, stays in a homestay, and buys crafts.

Eco- and sustainable development

Many villagers chose eco-tourism and sustainable development. They planted trees. They used solar lights. They kept the village clean. For example, a tree-planting drive in 2018 helped shade homes and attract birds. Eco-tourism keeps nature safe and brings long-term benefits.

Cultural tourism and school learning

Tourists love local festivals. They learn songs, dances, and food recipes. Schools can make trips here. Students learn about history and nature. Also, they can do projects and help the village.

Agro-tourism and farm visits

Agro-tourism means tourists visit farms. They learn to milk cows, make cheese, or harvest crops. This teaches urban visitors about food. It also adds income to the farm.

How to start a village tourism plan (for students and teachers)

 — Ask village leaders politely.

They organized tree planting, cleanliness drives, and free food camps. For example, in 2012–2014, his groups led large community service events and medical camps that reached many villages.
