description The purpose of this paper is to understand the role of community as an important player for community-based tourism in rural areas. Although government’s initiatives are evident, the sustainability of the development is questionable.

This study is deductive in nature where descriptive statistics used to measure the relevant dimensions. As a result, two themes were measured to have significant contribution in determining local community’s perception on community tourism.
