Abstract
Rural tourism is gaining popularity in the global tourism market due to its distinctive combination of natural landscapes, cultural heritage, and tranquil settings. However, the expansion of rural tourism also presents considerable environmental challenges, particularly in managing solid waste. This study investigates innovative strategies for reducing solid waste in rural tourism areas, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices that are tailored to the specific needs of these regions. The research assesses current waste management methods, identifies key obstacles, and proposes creative solutions that align with circular economy principles. The findings demonstrate the potential of these strategies to significantly lower the environmental impact of rural tourism, protect natural landscapes, and improve the sustainability of local economies. By engaging local communities, tourism enterprises, and policymakers, the study highlights the critical role of collaborative efforts in advancing effective waste management.
