Try to analyze the differences and connections between the concepts of community tourism, community participation and community empowerment.

The concept of community tourism was introduced from abroad. There are two kinds of understanding, one is a kind of tourism product, that is, a kind of tourism activity with community as the main attraction; The second refers to a development concept. As a development concept, community tourism refers to "community participation in tourism development", which means that in the process of decision-making, development, planning, management and supervision of tourism development, the opinions and needs of the community are fully considered as the main development subject and participants, and the all-round development of the community is realized on the premise of ensuring the sustainable development direction of tourism. Community empowerment is a concept applied to the practice of community tourism development, which refers to the process of "reducing powerlessness". The essence of community empowerment is to enhance the control and benefit-sharing rights of local communities, emphasize the importance of communities in promoting tourism development, make community residents change from passive participation to active participation, gain the decision-making power of tourism development, ensure the maximization of local residents' interests, and partially control the development of local tourism. Community empowerment is a further expansion of the connotation of community participation. Changing the traditional "top-down" community participation mode into "bottom-up" legal empowerment form is an important way to enhance the effectiveness of community participation.
