It found that while tourism development provided some economic benefits like job creation and infrastructure improvements, it also contributed to issues like increased land prices, overdevelopment of buildings, and threats to local agriculture. Overall, the document concludes that for rural tourism to be sustainable, it requires careful management and control of development to balance the economic, social, and environmental impacts on local communities.
