Since the 1970's, international tourism has become a popular, growing industry undertaken by a coalition of national governments, multi-billion-dollar corporations and international development agencies to capitalize upon a widespread service sector industry that remains increasingly lucrative and ever changing. These coalitions market tourism to populations from developed nations who possess higher salaries, longer vacation times, and greater access to the world via innovations within the global airline industry. Never before in the history of humanity does a world population possess the necessary capital, time, and information, to consistently travel within their own countries and abroad for extended and more frequent periods of time (Mowforth and Munt 1998, McLaren 2003, Fletcher 2014). To this day, much of conventional tourism is primarily driven by resorts, theme parks, and cruise tourism, as a means of providing the all-inclusive comforts and amenities which tourists expect while staging the operation in a foreign country that is deemed exotic or unique by the perceptions of those from the developed world (Mowforth and Munt 1998, MacCannell 1976). Meanwhile, tourists often remain unaware of the problems which tourism ventures have caused throughout the developing world including growing economic inequality, a dependence of local livelihoods to low skill, unreliable wage labor, and rare and endemic ecosystems being increasingly threatened as environmental problems related to water and waste management are exacerbated by tourism growth (Mowforth and Munt 1998, Sharpley 2000; Fletcher 2014, Devine 2017). These large scale, traditional tourism planning narratives can best be described by Dean MacCannell (1976) as: "Produced representations that characterize a warped sense of reality in which tourists remain in privileged isolation, alienated from both local populations and the social ills that exist within foreign places." Beginning in the 1980's and 1990's, international agencies such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, and United States Agency for International Development became acutely aware of conventional tourism's negative environmental impacts and failures to alleviate poverty. During this time, an emerging focus on sustainable development through state agencies and international donors identified alternative and ecotourism venture styles which emphasized local community involvement, greater cross cultural interactions, conservation initiatives, and equitable land rights as avenues to combat the economic and environmental challenges facing many developing countries (Davis 1994, Mowforth and Munt 1998, Sharpley 2000, McLaren 2003, Smith 2003, Lawson 2007, Fletcher 2014). Despite an increased emphasis on conservation and poverty alleviation, ecotourism and other alternative tourism models remain ill-defined with best practices and key aspects being contested. Furthermore, many tourism operations put forth a facade of environmental conscientiousness and local participation to attract more tourists and appear more eco-friendly (Mowforth and Munt 1998, McLaren 2003, Dorsey and Porras 2004, Donohoe and Needham 2006, Fletcher 2014). By pursuing investments in policies that utilize, encourage, and uplift local communities to plan, oversee, and benefit from tourism, the rapidly growing service sector industry has the ability to greatly improve personal incomes while generating greater revenues for community development, improved infrastructure, and higher standards of living (Mowforth and Munt 1998, Sharpley 2000, Mohan and Stokke 2000, Finger-Stitch 2003, McLaren 2003, West et al. 2006, Haller and Galvin 2008, Fletcher 2014, Hunt et al. 2016).
