Abstract

Community participation in tourism planning is becoming a hot topic in recent years, but few destinations actually succeed. Taking Canada's Baffin Regional Tourism Planning(BRTP) and China’s Yangshuo Yulong River Tourist Attraction Planning(YYRTAP) as examples, this paper studies the differences of community participation in tourism planning between China and the west. It turns out that they are different in participation model, the methods that the community take in the participation as well as the community’s participatory awareness and abilities. There are many reasons for the differences, of which the democratization processes, stages of tourism development and the concept that guides it as well as the balance of powers of the government, market and community are most important ones.
