Abstract

tourism is a vital aspect of global culture and economy, shaping nations economically, culturally, and socially. This study delves into tourism's layered effects across economic, environmental, and cultural dimensions. Through a mixed-method research approach integrating surveys, interviews, and statistical analysis, the dual nature of tourism emerges—stimulating economic growth while posing challenges to sustainability and cultural integrity. The study underscores the importance of adopting sustainable practices to harmonize these impacts. Suggestions are made for policies and strategies that balance economic benefits with environmental and cultural well-being.
