AB  - There were evidences showed that tourism can generate the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In
positive way, tourism can increase more employment, income, facilities and standard of living. However, it may
have negative impacts from business owners who lack of social responsibility or even change local community
way of life. Some tourism based communities have to depend on tourism and it becomes their major source of
income. This research aims at studying a community that has awareness and tries to adapt themselves after
there are higher number of tourists in the community. It highlights on community participation as well. The
Community Based Tourism Enterprise (CBTE) comes from the consciousness of local community. It also relates
to social responsibility and attitude toward economic, social and environment situation of the local people and
community. It shares the idea that tourists should pay more attention to the negative impacts which result from
their behaviors and activities. Those negative impacts include letting tourists become their first priority. By
minimizing negative impacts and adding more value to the provided activities, it shows the sense of social
responsibility in the CBTE. That sense will surely have positive impacts to tourist’s perception. The change
of tourist’s behavior is result from the CBTE management pattern and activities. The objective of the CBTE is
to solve problem at its root which can start from create an awareness to tourists who interact with local people.
This research was accomplished based on 2 main points of view which are tourists and community enterprise.
The management guideline and created activities came from the shared ideas based on tourist information and
community management.
