Towards Sustainable Tourism Development: Theoretical Construction Between Sustainability And Tourism Strategy

Authors : Boukhedimi Fatima Zahra . Ouahdi Bekhouche Fella .

Abstract

This study aims to examine the incorporation of the concept of sustainability into tourism development plans. As an activity with significant economic, social, and environmental impacts, tourism must move toward a sustainable approach to conserve resources, enhance the quality of life of local communities, and satisfy tourist desires. The objective of sustainable tourism is therefore to strike a balance between economic development, social equity, and environmental protection through effective governance, stakeholder involvement, and innovation. However, the application of this method faces challenges, including the complexity of stakeholder collaboration, the lack of appropriate indicators, and constraints associated with traditional growth models.
