Community-based tourism enterprises (CBTEs) play an important role in supporting local livelihoods, preserving cultural heritage, and promoting sustainable tourism development. This study examines the relationships among supply chain integration, resilience capabilities, and sustainable development using survey data from 256 community-based tourism enterprises in Vietnam. A two-stage empirical approach combining Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) models was employed. The findings indicate that network design and information systems positively influence both proactive and reactive resilience capabilities, while collaboration strengthens proactive resilience but negatively affects reactive resilience. Strategy exerts the strongest positive effect on reactive resilience. Furthermore, both proactive and reactive resilience capabilities positively contribute to environmental, social, and economic sustainability outcomes. Reactive resilience demonstrates the strongest impact on environmental sustainability, whereas proactive resilience has the greatest effect on economic sustainability. An unexpected finding is the negative relationship between collaboration and reactive resilience, suggesting potential trade-offs between stakeholder dependence and organizational flexibility. This study extends Dynamic Capability Theory by distinguishing between proactive and reactive resilience capabilities and explaining how resilience facilitates the transformation of supply chain integration into sustainable development outcomes. The findings have practical implications for strengthening resilience and promoting sustainability in community-based tourism enterprises.
