Abstract
Mountain tourism drives economic growth, offering opportunities for local communities and attracting global travelers. However, the rise in tourism poses challenges in balancing economic benefits with preserving cultural heritage and environmental sustainability. This research explores strategies for sustainable development, aiming to harmonize mountain tourism with the conservation of cultural and environmental resources. Mountain regions, with their unique ecosystems and traditions, are particularly vulnerable to tourism impacts. The influx of visitors can lead to environmental degradation, including habitat loss, pollution, and pressure on local resources. Additionally, the commercialization of cultural heritage can erode traditional practices and community identities. This study examines the relationship between tourism, cultural heritage, and environmental sustainability, using case studies to illustrate successful and unsuccessful approaches. The research aims to provide insights for balancing economic development and preserving natural and cultural assets.
