The Tangible and Intangible Factor Toward Ecotourism Development

Ecotourism is increasingly regarded as a sustainable approach to tourism development, offering benefits for environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and community empowerment. Its success depends on the integration of tangible factors, such as infrastructure and natural resources, and intangible factors, such as community participation and cultural values. This paper explores the roles of both tangible and intangible dimensions in shaping ecotourism development. The study emphasizes the importance of balancing physical and non-physical elements to ensure sustainability, authenticity, and community well-being. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of ecotourism as a multidimensional concept that requires comprehensive strategies for long-term success.
