9. CI Indonesia Strategy: Promote Community Based Ecotourism

10. General Challenge Capacity of stakeholders (government agency, private sectors and local community) to implement ecotourism (putting theory into practice) How do we know that we implement ecotourism and not just tourism to natural areas? What criteria and indicator is used to show significant impact from tourism to conservation outcomes? How to make sure that ecotourism can contribute to improving management of protected area (e.g. by contributing part of tourism revenue to management cost of protected area) How to minimize impacts of ecotourism to ecosystem, culture and traditional economic practices? Involvement and participation of local community to tourism project Global and local security issues

11. Challenges for CI Indonesia Lack of in-house expertise and resources CI Indonesia restructuring into CBC (exiting from GEDEPAHALA and Togean NP programs)
