Summary
Community Based Tourism (CBT) is a form of tourism that aims to empower people to manage tourism growth and achieve community aspirations related to their well-being, including economic, social and environmental sustainable development. Within the framework of this concept, environmental sustainability and the survival of local people are considered important to maintain and become a core area in every economic development In this perspective, various economic actions are applied in the paradigm of diversity, involvement in the experience of local communities, the principles of humanity and justice, and the balance of life (Brocchi, 2008). The existence of Ubud Monkey Forest Ecotourism is shaded by the goal of preserving the natural environment and wildlife habitat (mainly long-tailed Balinese monkeys), driving the economy of local communities and embodying cultural values through the implementation of the Tri Hita Karana philosophy. This uniqueness results in an increasing number of tourist visits.
