Connection to tourism
Destination planning should balance visitor needs with resident well-being, including housing, mobility, and public space. Tourism can drive inclusive urban development, green infrastructure, and climate adaptation. Community engagement ensures that growth benefits locals and preserves cultural heritage. Sustainable management reduces negative urban externalities and strengthens resilience.
