As local community participation is only achieved if factors affecting level of local communityparticipation are well identified and managed, the majority of previous research have attempted toidentify factors that facilitate effective local community participation rather than barriers or constrainsto it with some exceptions. This might be because success factors can be converted into constrainingfactors at the same time in a case where they are not favourable for local’s participation. Thus,constraints on or barriers to effective community participation can be found by addressing thenegative side of each success factor previously identified. Nevertheless, some of the hindering factorscan be found regardless of those successful factors. They include lack of awareness and limitedcapacity of poor local people (e.g., time, expertise, and financial resources), power disparities anddistrust in tourism development authorities, and more. These limitations to community participationcan be categorised into three dimensional aspects which are cultural, operational and structural [8].
