The Bale Mountain National Park and the neighboring communities have a lot of potential for community-based ecotourism development. The local community has various ecotourism assets that could be converted into successful community-based tourist goods, as discovered through interview and observation. Cultural activities, natural attractions, and other recreational options would all be included in these items. From a product perspective, the Endangered animals and plants, Fincanbera tourist site, Bodity Mountain, rivers and waterfalls viewing opportunities are good, recreational opportunities are diverse, and local cultures are alive and quite interesting.Despite the fantastic prospects and good environment for CBET development, the Park faces a number of difficult hurdles in growing community-based ecotourism. Low levels of local participation and benefit sharing, poor park-community relationships, settlement unsustainable livelihood, and exploitative resource use patterns all have an impact on the resource base required for the establishment of an ecotourism park.Other major impediments to the development of CBET found in the report include a lack of stakeholder engagement and initiatives, as well as a lack of dedication and devotion, particularly on the part of EWCO, local government, and other key stakeholders. Furthermore, policy, law, and regulatory problems have been identified as important roadblocks. The basic challenges to establishing CBET in the Bale Mountain National Park area are found in Ethiopian environmental policy, wildlife policy, tourism policy, and various legislations. Other infrastructural, manpower, and awareness-related challenges to creating community-based ecotourism in the Bale Mountain National Park area were also found in the study.
