Abstract
This paper draws on practice-based theorising in workplace education to conceptualise the learning of hosts in homestay provision in community-based ecotourism (CBET). The paper first discusses the spatial and social dimensions of community homestays, reviews literature on homestay tourism, cultural commodification and colonialisation of local communities, and argues that agency is due homestay hosts in negotiating CBET on their own terms. Billet's model of workplace learning – describing curriculum practices, pedagogic practices and epistemological practices – is then used to conceptualise host learning in CBET, drawing on a comprehensive review of published research on homestays in CBET. The paper argues that host learning and education give hosts the capacity for local self-determination and control of ecotourism development and management. The conclusion offers directions for further research and practice.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
