Many developing countries have recognized the potential of their natural resources for
the development of tourism. However, the policies designed to provide a framework for socially
inclusive and ecologically sound tourism turn out to be weak in fostering community-based tourism
(CBT). There is a spectrum of conditions that lead to success or failure of CBT initiatives that should
be accounted for by national policies to ensure meaningful community engagement. This paper
proposes a framework for the evaluation of tourism policy documents based on factors that facilitate
and constrain CBT in developing countries. The framework was applied to seven tourism policy
documents in Colombia using a content analysis approach. The results showed that the policies are
weak in providing a base for community engagement in CBT. International experiences indicate that
the barriers to CBT are similar throughout the world; thus, the framework is useful in the evaluation
of policy documents in other developing countries.
