Abstract
Sustainable tourism initiatives can help address socioeconomic disparities and promote inclusive growth. These initiatives prioritize social tourism, sustainable consumption, and responsible business practices. By doing so, resource entities can benefit local communities, preserve cultural and natural resources, and contribute to sustainable development. The study involved a literature review, conceptual framework development, research design, data collection, analysis, policy implications, and conclusion. The study considers economic, social, and environmental impacts. However, unplanned tourism growth can have negative consequences, highlighting the need for sustainable tourism strategies. Ongoing monitoring and participation of all stakeholders are crucial to achieve sustainable tourism. Sustainable tourism practices can attract environmentally conscious tourists and contribute to economic growth. The values address socioeconomic gaps, promoting inclusive growth, stakeholder engagement, policy-led changes, a balanced approach, ongoing monitoring, and strategic collaborations.
