Abstract
Currently, community-based tourism has been attracting attention as an effective measure for regional revitalization, ctively promoted in many places. Although it is recommended to experience regional unique things, it is unclear the tourists are really satisfied with this type of tourism.
Therefore I surveyed the attitude by online questionnaire, it shows that only minority expects to experience regional unique activities.
Besides, many tourists are not satisfied with comfort and safety in the present community-based tourism. These issues should be resolved in order to take part in the market.
Community-based tourism : it means a type of tourism exploitation by local communities, where the local people get involved in receiving tourists and visitants in order to take more advantage of any tourism potential the region has.
