Abstract

This study looks at the development of sustainable tourist infrastructure, focusing only on physical factors. In terms of resource efficiency and environmental sustainability, planning, design, and management techniques are assessed through a review of the literature and case studies. In order to pinpoint problems and offer viable solutions, the research carefully examines how much energy, water, garbage, and transportation systems are used. The report promotes minimising environmental effect and optimising resource conservation in tourism infrastructure projects by highlighting eco-friendly technology and design ideas. Innovative strategies, such as the use of sustainable construction materials, integrated renewable energy, water-saving techniques, and effective transportation systems, are demonstrated in successful case studies. The research prioritises physical factors to ensure lowest ecological impact and long-term environmental resilience, advocating for sustainable tourist infrastructure by integrating theoretical and practical insights. The findings contribute to advancing sustainable development goals within the tourism sector, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers, planners, and developers to create destinations in harmony with natural surroundings.
