ABSTRACT

Community residents are the key subjects of rural tourism and should be fully integrated into the development of rural tourism. However, the tourism development in rural tourism areas still belongs to top-down government or enterprise behavior, and tourism development is prone to ignoring community participation and being disconnected from community residents. Based on this issue, this article conducts a secondary analysis of existing research cases on community participation in rural tourism by scholars, summarizes the current development status of community participation in rural tourism, analyzes the common issues of community participation in rural tourism, and explores the optimal path for community participation in rural tourism. Research has found that the forms of residents' participation in rural tourism are more diverse, with an increase in participants and a further expansion of the role of new agricultural management entities. However, there are still serious problems of passive participation of residents in rural tourism and low returns from residents' tourism. Based on the existing problems, this article proposes suggestions and countermeasures from aspects such as deepening cooperation methods, optimizing benefit mechanisms, and emphasizing residents' training, intended to provide suggestions for optimizing community participation management in rural tourism areas.
