Abstract

This article delineates the accomplishments and constraints associated with sustainable tourism development in India's coastal regions. This study identified numerous advantageous effects of sustainable tourism development for various stakeholders, including the community, local government, cultural and natural environments, and tourists. The ideas of sustainable tourism development are advantageous; yet, their application is exceedingly challenging due to the existing socio-economic backdrop, political situations, and institutional frameworks in the developing globe. This article evaluates the present state of sustainable tourism development in India's coastal regions, highlighting the disparity between policy formulation and its execution. Consequently, drawing from the triumphs and limitations encountered thus far, we propose initial ideas for the advancement of ecotourism and cultural tourism as means to attain sustainability.
