Abstract
Nature-based tourism (NBT) plays an
important role in sustainable development. It can support
poverty alleviation, economic growth, and biodiversity
conservation and contribute to key global agreements and
frameworks, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development. NBT’s singular potential to create jobs and
growth, while protecting wildlife and ecosystems, makes it
an enticing prospect for developing countries seeking to
align those interests. The Nature-Based Tourism (NBT)
Community of Practice (CoP) was launched in December 2017 as
an internal World Bank Group (WBG) community, whose focus is
to help develop the NBT agenda within the Environment,
Natural Resources and Blue Economy (ENB) Global Practice.
The NBT CoP has facilitated collaboration and learning
through a mix of knowledge products and services. The NBT
CoP commissioned a comprehensive review of the tools and
knowledge resources that could be used by practitioners in
the field of NBT, to prepare and implement projects that
promote sustainable NBT practices and policies.
