Abstract

This paper is aimed at presenting a brief overview on the state of the art of community-based tourism (CBT) in Brazil. CBT is a tourism practice that seeks to reconcile local development and nature conservation. At first, we carried out a discussion on the foundations, concepts and principles of CBT, as well as bringing light to some of its challenges, threats and weaknesses. Then, we present some initiatives in the Brazilian context of CBT: Call for Entries No. 0 1/2008 of the Ministry of Tourism of Brazil, the Brazilian Network of Community Tourism “TURISOL” and the case of the “Prainha do Canto Verde - Sustainable and Community Tourism”.
