Additionally, the study underscores the importance of sustainability-oriented financial management strategies in fostering destination resilience and enhancing tourist experiences. Collaborative partnerships involving tourists, destination authorities, industry practitioners, and local communities are essential for developing holistic strategies that balance economic growth with environmental conservation and socio-cultural preservation. The research contributes to evidence-based policy formulation and managerial decision-making in the tourism industry, ultimately enhancing the sustainability and competitiveness of tourism destinations worldwide.
