The destination became the main competitive unit in the tourism sector, and is defined as “as a tourist product and then as a specific supply involving a set of resources, activities and actors of a territory” (MANENTE & MINGHETTI 2005, p. 230). Further, sustainable destination management is defined as the joint management of a destination in consideration of the concept of sustainable development, and can be seen as the key tool for accomplishing a sustainable tourism development.

TL Cetacean Watching Guidelines<\/h2>

The presence and diversity of cetaceans in our waters has led to the development of whale watching, both on a commercial and small-scale basis. Whale watching is defined as viewing activities in the natural environment, of any cetacean species from land, sea or air. If managed well, this activity can provide a sustainable income from whales, which can reduce damaging activities, such as the harvesting of pilot whales being carried out in Indonesia, close to Timor-Leste. Whale watching has the potential to generate many benefits to communities, contributing to sustainable development.

Timor and its associated islands are located within the biologically distinctive region of Wallacea and support a rich diversity of animals and plants, including many species that are found nowhere else in the world. BirdLife International has defined these islands as the “Timor and Wetar Endemic Bird Area” (EBA), because they support 35 bird species with restricted ranges including 23 that are entirely confined to the EBA.

In summary, the aims of this project are to:
• Provide a framework for developing and marketing a regional nature and marine-based
sustainable tourism brand for the Coral Triangle
• Conduct business planning for distinctive positioning and hero experiences to support
destination management planning at three selected areas in Timor Leste, Papua New
Guinea and Solomon Islands
• Work with WWF and stakeholders to prepare a prospectus and identify and engage
with potential investors in the destinations
• Prepare a communication strategy to promote the initiative and brand with key
stakeholders, communities and businesses.

Sustainable Destination Management in Timor‐Leste<\/h2>

This study tackles the status quo of sustainable destination management in Timor‐Leste. The fact that the tourism sector in Timor‐Leste is still at a grassroots level must be understood as a huge chance to choose a ‘right’ pathway of tourism development, always bearing in mind that misguided developments cannot easily get adjusted in future.

Sustainable Tourism And Alternative Livelihood Development On Ataúro Island, Timor-Leste, Through Pro-Poor, Community-Based Ecotourism<\/h2>

Timor-Leste, as a small island developing state and a fragile, post-conflict nation, faces major human development challenges, particularly in the areas of poverty alleviation, rural economic development and development of the ‘non-oil’ economy. Tourism has been identified as a key sector for economic development in the Timor-Leste Strategic Development Plan 2011–2030, with community-based ecotourism (CBET) and pro- poor tourism (PPT) identified as the major tourism models. Over the past two decades, Ataúro Island has been a national and international model of CBET and PPT development. This study assesses the economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts and benefits of CBET and PPT programmes for local communities on Ataúro Island through island-level, participatory mapping and spatial analysis of ecotourism assets and key infrastructure.
