Summary
The issue of tourism possibly developed in the area of our interest was from its inception associated with the authors idea (or rather research question) of utilizing the tourist industry for the development of local communities. Garrod and Low [1] regard the tourism as an approach maintaining biodiversity, strengthening local communities and supporting economic development. The authors believe that tourism brings these benefits especially to the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Local communities engaged in the community-based tourism (primarily from rural areas) cater for tourists in their villages, jointly manage all their activities and share profits. Typical is forging all kinds of alliances. This type of tourism will allow the visitors to get the first-hand experience of the communitys culture and living environment. The communities are mostly well aware of the value lying in their cultural and natural heritage, and this awareness leads them to take proper care of the inherited resources
