Introduction of community tourism

In the field of tourism, as early as 1970s, some scholars began to discuss the process of community residents' participation in tourism development from the perspective of community. Butler (1975), Kent (1977), Cohen (1979), De Cadet (1979), Boissevain (1979), Smith (/kloc). Peter murphy was the first person who systematically studied community tourism and introduced the concept of community participation into tourism research. In his famous "Tourism: A Community Approach", Murphy formally and systematically studied the participation of community residents in the process of tourism development for the first time. Since 1990s, western tourism scholars have paid more and more attention to participating in tourism development. The internationally renowned academic journals of tourism, Yearbook of Tourism Research and Yearbook of Tourism Management, both set up special collections devoted to community tourism, which set off a new upsurge of related research. At the same time, the maturity of theoretical research on community participation and the accumulation of practical experience also make community tourism gradually grow into a new interdisciplinary subject with multi-professional participation, and the resulting tourism anthropology and tourism sociology have been widely recognized in various professional fields.
