การท่องเที่ยวโดยชุมชนพื้นที่ภาคใต้ของประเทศไทย : การทบทวนวรรณกรรมอย่างเป็นระบบ Community-based Tourism studies in the Southern Thai context: A systematic literature review

Abstract

The systematic review process undertaken in this study adapts from Pickering and Byrne (2014). This review aims to seek a greater understanding of the trends and focuses of the Community-based tourism (CBT) area of research, in particular to the southern Thai context. In this study, the literature search is conducted utilizing only TCI research database and only a TCI indexed journals with the primary purpose of tourism and hospitality publications is selected. The reviews indicate the CBT researchers utilize several communities of selected provinces of the southern Thai region as a research context, including Chumpon, Ranong, Phangnga, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Satun, and Narathiwat. The reviews also indicate four outstanding areas of research focuses, namely, 1) an investigation into potential of CBT management in a selected context, 2) factors influencing travel behavior in the CBT attractions, 3) sustainable success of CBT management, and 4) impacts of CBT management. This systematic literature review suggests several gaps for further studies. For example, an application of the ASEAN CBT Standards for the development of Thai CBT should be investigated.
