A Roadmap Towards Sustainable Tourism: Fundamental Principles, Models, and Impacts

Abstract

    In recent decades, the global tourism industry has witnessed remarkable expansion, providing substantial economic advantages to numerous destinations across the world. Nevertheless, this surge in tourism has not been free of its difficulties, with over-tourism emerging as a noteworthy issue. Over tourism is characterized by an excessive inflow of tourists that exceeds the capacity of destinations, raising concerns about the sustainability and the welfare of both the places and the communities that host them. This research paper embarks on a comprehensive examination of sustainability within the realm of tourism, with a particular emphasis on the fundamental principles, diverse models for sustainable tourism, and the extensive consequences of over-tourism. Ultimately, the paper offers a well-structured guide for destinations grappling with over-tourism, directing them toward the ideals of sustainable tourism, community well-being, and environmental preservation.
