Abstract
Global challenges are posed by the exponential rise in solid waste resulting from development and population growth. This chapter explores the effective management of solid waste in rural tourist hubs, focusing on its gathering, transportation, treatment, and disposal practices, along with a thorough assessment of the solid waste management (SWM) hurdles, while highlighting few illustrative instances. Ineffective waste management disturbs the ecosystem, pollutes the environment, and endangers public health. Sustainable methods for handling waste rely heavily on a variety of technologies, including recycling, pyrolysis, incineration, composting, and waste-to-energy transformation. Less polluted, more nutritious, as well as more resilient neighborhoods can be achieved by incorporating systems for waste management in place, increasing public awareness, and adhering to the reduce, reuse, and recycle principles. This meticulous overview offers valuable information to business and academic fraternity to overcome the present challenges and promote the growth of rural tourism sector.
