Data was collected by employing questionnaires formulated through the concept of the Context, Input, Process and Product (CIPP) model for evaluation to the local members of the CBT communities who participated in the CBT management.

It is suggested that the local members who are involved in the CBT should emphasize more on the key factors which are human resource management, the laws, rules and agreements, the operational plans and guidelines, tourism activities, the fairdistributed income system, the safety and security, and the environmental management in order to increase the CBT management performance which could lead to the sustainability of the local communities in Thailand. 2019 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en https://etd.uum.edu.my/9926/1/s900177_01.pdf text en https://etd.uum.edu.my/9926/2/References_s900177.docx Jitpakdee, Pit (2019) The management of the community based tourism in Thailand: an evaluation of its performance.
