This article analyzes tourismdevelopment activities in the village of Garmeh (a highly successful example in thenetwork) focusing on the facilitator’s role, impacts of the activities, and social, economic,and environmental sustainability. Fieldwork for this article was carried out throughobservation, 41 semi-structured interviews with village residents/stakeholders, andparticipatory rural appraisal (for 12 groups) targeting a set of socio-cultural, economic, andenvironmental sustainability indicators. Based on its results, the development of tourism inGarmeh is found to have both sustainable and unsustainable characteristics in social,economic, and environmental terms. As a result of private-sector facilitation, the village hasgained access to a relatively large tourism market. At the same time, local participation hasa top-down nature and tourism development activities have certain monopoly aspects.There is overall local satisfaction with tourism development in Garmeh, although culturaldifferences as well as conflicts between tourism and local development priorities andamong different village clans have also resulted in some level of dissatisfaction with thepresence of tourists and activities of the facilitator.
