Balancing Urban Tourism With Sustainability and City Development

Abstract

This research dives into the complex relationship of urban tourism, sustainability, and city development, using Lisbon and Jaipur as focal points. With urban tourism significantly influencing global urban landscapes, finding a delicate balance between its economic advantages and sustainable urban growth has become essential. Employing a combination of quantitative data analysis and qualitative perspectives from stakeholders, the study aims to evaluate how tourism impacts the sustainability of these distinct cities. The research seeks to uncover challenges, opportunities, and effective strategies, presenting actionable recommendations for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders to encourage sustainable urban tourism. Through a comparative analysis of Lisbon and Jaipur, this study contributes valuable insights to the global conversation on aligning tourism expansion with conscientious city development.
