Abstract

Urban and regional planning in tourism are two related areas that have numerous implications for sustainable development and community participation. This paper focuses on the complex interaction between tourism activity and urban and regional planning by discussing the possible ways to use this activity for the sustainable development and inclusion of local communities. This qualitative study was based on literature reviews, reports, and documents on Tourism in Urban and Regional Planning of Sustainable Development and Community Integration strategies. The information obtained from the literature reviews was synthesized to identify data related to sustainable development and community integration adaptation. The collected data were analyzed to find patterns that could be used to formulate meaningful conclusions. The complex relationship between urban and regional planning in tourism development was also examined by focusing on the opportunities, constraints, and implications for the sustainability of the tourism business and people’s welfare. The study demonstrated that tourism should be incorporated into urban and regional planning and management in order to achieve sustainable community development.
