Self-organizing governance of the Golden Eagle Festival, Mongolia in Managing Growth and Sustainable Tourism Governance in Asia and the Pacific, UNWTO (United National World Tourism Organization) by Young-Rae Kim & Ilan Vertinsty (2017).
Summary: This paper examines a self-organizing governance approach to local sustainable development. It focuses on
the case of the Golden Eagle Festival in Mongolia. This festival has been successful for 16 years in preserving
traditional values and identity of eagle hunters while bringing economic benefits to the local community. The
paper traces how a local initiative of self-organizing governance was born and evolved to achieve this success
without financial and institutional support from Government.
Key Message: A local self-organizing governance initiative can be an alternative approach for sustainable tourism development
in situations where there is minimal or no financial and institutional support from Government. Cultivating the
capacity of local stakeholders for self-organizing governance and ensuring a broad local participation in the
initiative, are critical conditions for sustainable tourism development.
