Sustainable Tourism development is one of the core indicator and component for development of community tourism and both are closely associated with each other. Local communities are the moral and legal stakeholders for developing any form of tourism at any destination and without their active participation tourism cannot develop.

Therefore the present study has investigated the sustainable tourism in relation to community development in view of local community. This is an empirical study conducted through both qualitative and qualitative research approaches. Findings suggest that sustainable tourism plays a significant role in order to development community tourism and work a comprehensive approach.
