分析生物多样性保护和社区发展之间联系的大部分文献都假定，土著社区管理的以自然为基础的旅游不仅会保护自然资源，还会促进发展。在实践中，由于多种因素的综合作用，生态旅游往往未能给土著社区带来预期的好处，包括社区内的人力、财政和社会资本资源短缺，缺乏公平分配生态旅游经济利益的机制，以及土地不安全。在回顾经验的基础上，我们分析了影响土著社区生态旅游体验成败的因素之间的复杂相互作用，并强调需要采取更好的方法来增强土著社区通过生态旅游谋生的可能性，以及促进土地保有权和社区赋权。(C)2011爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
A large part of the literature analyzing the links between biodiversity conservation and community development assumes that nature-based tourism managed by indigenous communities will result not only in conservation of natural resources but also in increased development. In practice, ecotourism has often failed to deliver the expected benefits to indigenous communities due to a combination of factors, including shortages in the endowments of human, financial and social capital within the community, lack of mechanisms for a fair distribution of the economic benefits of ecotourism, and land insecurity. Based on a review of experiences, we analyze the complex interaction among the factors shaping the success and failure of ecotourism experiences in indigenous communities, and we stress the need for a better approach to enhance the indigenous communities' livelihood possibilities coming from ecotourism, as well as to promote land tenure and communities' empowerment.
