Abstract
This chapter examines community-based tourism (CBT) – one of the pathways indigenous people choose to cope with livelihood stress – through the lens of resilience livelihood. Social capital is a significant asset for vulnerable groups to develop CBT and a good example of resilience, in that CBT shows how the transformed social capital maintains its role in facilitating collective actions. Bonding connections and bridging networks are applied to assess the implications of social capital for community participation in tourism activities. The results describe three stages of CBT development at three study sites in which social capital contributes to the formation of different tourism management styles: private business, cooperative business, and community enterprise.
