Tourism Impact Assessment

Tourism Impact Assessment is a process that evaluates the positive and negative effects of tourism on a community or environment. It considers various factors, such as economic benefits (jobs, income), social impacts (cultural changes, community cohesion), and environmental consequences (resource use, pollution). By analyzing these elements, stakeholders can make informed decisions about tourism development, ensuring it benefits the local community while minimizing harm. Essentially, it helps balance the interests of tourists, residents, and the environment for sustainable tourism practices.
