Indigenous participation in conservation and tourism development: a case of native people of Sabah, Malaysia. International Journal of Tourism Research, 20 (3). pp. 400-409. ISSN 1522-1970 (2018)
Abstract
This study investigates the participation of indigenous communities in conservation and
tourism development projects, specifically focusing on the native people of Sabah, Malaysia.
Using the motivation, opportunity, and ability (MOA) model, we conceptualize a framework
for understanding the factors that influence the participation choices of this community. The
results suggest that knowledge and awareness (ability), and the perceived environmental and
economic impacts of tourism (motivation) have positive effects on the participation of
indigenous people. Moreover, the results of this study do not support an effect for opportunity
or the perceived social impacts of tourism on participation.
