Abstract

This study explores the integration of community empowerment and ecotourism as an innovative approach to developing Bukit Tawap Tourism Village. Key problems include low community participation, poor environmental conservation, and limited stakeholder collaboration. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach using Scheyvens’ (2018) empowerment theory, covering economic, psychological, social, and political dimensions. Data were collected through interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Findings show that ecotourism has enhanced income, self-confidence, social cohesion, and political participation. However, challenges remain, such as unequal distribution of economic benefits, low community motivation, and limited access to information. The study recommends increasing inclusivity of economic benefits, community training, and transparent resource management. By addressing these challenges, Bukit Tawap Tourism Village has the potential to become a sustainable, innovative, and inclusive model for rural tourism development.
