This study aims to examine the possibilities and limits of sustainable local development and contribution through Community-Based Tourism (CBT) in Tanzania from the perspective of Butler's Tourist Area Cycle of Evolution. Tanzania Cultural Tourism Programme (TCTP) has been conducted for many years to contribute a local development in many ways which the local people really want to realize. However, there is variability in degree of profits and benefits according to each TCTP site. Moreover, there is also a considerable difference between a local community and Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism (MNRT) in terms of what they mean by “development.” MNRT regards increasing the number of TCTP sites as one of the goals, but the local people don't regard it as their“ development.” To realize sustainable contributions to local communities, as well as holistic development of TCTP, there should be a unified vision of“ development” in order to make up for the discrepancies between the stakeholders and to review the role of TCTP.
