Abstract
This chapter investigates the concept and relationship between community pride, involvement, and participation needs in the sustainable tourism development. The study will also try to find out how local communities are involved in various activities and practices for the development of the sustainable tourism. Local community participation in tourism activities has become one of the major principles of sustainable tourism.

Tourism contributes to the growth of a community because it creates a lot of jobs in the various industries associated with tourism.
