Abstract for  Creative Tourism Destination Management: A case of sustainable Community-based Tourism Plan in Ranong Province

by Orapan Pratomlek*

Tourism management under the vision of “Stability, Prosperity and Sustainable” it’s a significant challenge for the community in effort to truly create sustainable creative tourism. The community have been intensifying to develop tourism activity by using community identity, local livelihood and culture with the aims to add value of existing resources but at the same time having to consider the stability in the quality of life as well as raise up the potential that generate income for community members. The Community Department Office, Ministry of Interior attempts to introduce “OTOP Inno-Life Tourism-Based Community” to promote tourism and encourage community to adopt tourism framework set into their plans. Ranong has applied the tourism framework proposed into action by trying to comply with existing community-based tourism plan. A raise of question is how it can be led to sustainable and creative tourism. Does it have a strong cooperation between government agency and community to involve in tourism activities plan or is simply that tourists are interested in coming to experience from their own travel? This paper aims to study the community tourism strategic planning by implementing OTOP Inno-life Tourism-Based Community proposed by government agency. 

Key Words: OTOP Inno-life Tourism-Based Community, Creative tourism, Community tourism and activity plan
