Undersøgelsen handler om bæredygtig, lokalsamfundsbaseret turisme i Sajek, Bangladesh, og om hvilke roller og ansvar forskellige aktører har for at skabe turisme, der gavner beboerne. Med en kvalitativ tilgang, baseret på interviews og tematisk analyse, undersøges hvordan turisme kan støtte naturbeskyttelse, bevare kultur og skabe økonomisk vækst, samtidig med at gevinsterne på lang sigt tilfalder lokalsamfundet. Resultaterne fremhæver de vigtige bidrag fra lokalsamfund, offentlige myndigheder, turismevirksomheder og ikke-statslige organisationer til at udvikle bæredygtige praksisser. Undersøgelsen viser, at samarbejde og inkluderende planlægning er afgørende for at håndtere udfordringer som miljøforringelse, kulturel erosion og økonomisk ulighed. Den bidrager til forståelsen af bæredygtig turisme i landdistrikter og giver anbefalinger til, hvordan aktører kan styrke turismens bæredygtighed i Sajek.
