Abstract: The research study investigated whether community-based tourism (CBT) could help in empowering the indigenous community of Mansalay, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. Marginalization of indigenous communities by virtue of history and limited access to resources has been an issue that could be attributed to historical patterns of discrimination [1].This paper adopted a Community Capitals Framework ( CCF ) to sustainable destination development This framework is used not only as a tool for analysis, but also offers a way to analyze community and economic development efforts from a systems perspective by identifying the assets in each capital (stock), the types of capital invested (low), the interaction among the capitals, and the resulting impacts across capitals [2].
It focused on CBT potential interventions in Panaytayan, Mansalay and examined the prospects and barriers of an indigenous community, and proposed effective solutions. According to research findings, there is a high potential on the natural, cultural, human and built community capitals to develop its tourism activities. It recommended forming a local tourist council, preserving culture, and using eco friendly measures. The study closed the gap in the literature related to the potential effects of CBT within an indigenous community for an academic audience, as well as local stakeholders and policymakers. It ultimately saw a viable and prosperous tourist location with rich culture and sustainable environment for the local population as well as visitors.
