Abstract
Rural tourism has increasingly gained prominence as a strategy for economic development and sustainability in rural areas, offering opportunities to diversify income sources, promote local culture, and conserve natural resources. However, the rapid growth of rural tourism also presents significant challenges, particularly in the realm of waste management. Understanding these challenges is crucial for ensuring that the benefits of rural tourism do not come at the expense of environmental degradation or diminished quality of life for local residents. Rural tourism, defined as travel to non-urban areas to experience rural life, natural landscapes, and cultural heritage, can provide numerous advantages to rural communities. It can stimulate local economies by creating jobs, supporting small businesses, and encouraging investment in infrastructure. Additionally, rural tourism can foster cultural exchange and promote environmental stewardship by raising awareness about conservation issues and the value of preserving traditional practices.
