The vision behind USAID’s investment in the tourism sector through USAID’s Tourism for All Project is to promote TimorLeste’s competitiveness as an international tourism destination while preserving its unique environmental and cultural heritage. It also recognizes that effective conservation, planning and management systems are essential to protect areas of high conservation value (HCV) and national/global significance – and also essential to the future growth and success of the tourism sector.

You might be the owner of a guesthouse or restaurant, a tour operator, or a walking guide.
Successful tourism operators understand what tourists and guests like and need, and are able
to balance this with the needs of the community, creating a successful and sustainable tourism
industry that we can all benefit from.
This manual covers:
• Understanding tourists
• Understanding culture
• Communication
• Customer service
• Safety and security
• The environment
This module is the first in a series of three training modules designed to assist guesthouse
owners and tourism operators with various aspects of running a successful tourism, food or
accommodation business. When you have completed this training module, you will be ready
to move on to the second module: Food Preparation and Service.

Acknowledgement: The tourism consulting team travelled across Ataúro Island and held meetings in Dili during the three consultation visits. We met with many people from the communities and businesses of Ataúro Island, representatives of the Government of Timor-Leste, non-government organisations and development agencies as well as the Ataúro Island Sub-District Administrator and Chefe de Sucos. We wish to acknowledge and express our deep gratitude for their generous and invaluable contribution of time, experience and knowledge shared with us during this project, including providing feedback on the draft Destination Plan. Significant logistical support was provided by the Coral Triangle Foundation, MV Ataúro and Barry’s Place, for which the consultant team was very grateful.

Community-based tourism is tourism in which local
residents (collectively or individually) in doing tourism
businesses (often rural community), invite tourists to visit
their communities with the provision of overnight
accommodation or other related tourism services.

The National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan of Timor-Leste (2011-2020)<\/h2>

[if 148 not_equal=\”\”][\/if 148][if 149 not_equal=\”\”] -\u00a0[\/if 149]<\/p>

This National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) is Timor-Leste’s guiding
framework to conserve its biodiversity and serves as safeguard in achieving the
country’s development agenda in the next two decades.
The NBSAP is closely anchored on the National Strategic Development Plan (SDP)
of Timor-Leste (2011-2030). It is consistent with the country’s other sectoral policy
frameworks such as the National Adaptation Programme of Action on Climate Change
(December 2010), the National Action Programme to Combat Land Degradation
(February 2009), the Fisheries Sector Plan and the Forestry Sector Plan.
The NBSAP is also a guiding policy framework for district and sub-district
authorities, civil society and the private sector in their approaches to biodiversity
conservation and ecosystems management. The success of implementing the Strategy
involves close coordination among the key directorates of government concerned in
biodiversity conservation and natural resources management, relevant economic sectors
of the government, and with the private sector. It also involves updating of current
programmers and setting priorities for programming and funding.

[if 103 not_equal=\”\”]

A manifestation of early destination development, Community-Based Tourism (CBT) enterprises have
been emerging across Timor-Leste as a rural development strategy. In the context of this fledgling and oil
revenue dependent nation, CBT enterprises will need to overcome various challenges if they are to fulfil
their potential. The present paper explores stakeholder perceptions towards the prospective shape and
structure of a nationwide CBT network using a multi-stage qualitative research approach. Respondents
broadly agreed that a CBT network can support the development of tourism and help enterprises to
confront the challenges of deficient knowledge, funding and marketing, prospectively improving rural
livelihoods. The researchers consider neo-colonial, social economy and community development perspectives
when applying the prospective CBT model in a resource dependent developing country setting.
The success of a CBT network relies on an authoritative funding body and on communications between
managers and stakeholders that maintains a balance of power.
