Abstract
Hazardous waste transportation in rural touristic areas presents unique challenges and complexities that are critical to address to ensure environmental protection and public safety. Rural touristic areas, often characterized by their remote locations, limited infrastructure, and fluctuating population densities due to seasonal tourism, face particular difficulties in managing the safe and efficient transport of hazardous materials. These challenges are compounded by the need to protect the natural beauty and ecological integrity of these destinations, which are integral to their appeal and economic viability. Understanding Hazardous Waste in the context of rural tourism is essential for effective management. Hazardous waste includes any waste material that is dangerous or potentially harmful to human health or the environment. This can encompass a wide range of substances, from chemicals and pesticides used in local agriculture to waste generated by tourism facilities, such as cleaning agents, batteries, and electronic waste.
