摘要:Tourism development is crucial in small island economic developments, but such activities involve trade-offs between the benefits and environmental, social and cultural detriment. Sustainability is one of the critical factors determining tourism development success - promoting the balance between protecting the environment, maintaining cultural integrity, establishing social justice, and promoting economic benefits. This paper explores how relevant stakeholder groups perceive sustainable tourism development in the Egang-egang Resort Bum-Bum Island Semporna. A survey was conducted on the locals residing within the area of Egang Egang Water Chalet (EEWC). The study discovered that EEWS operations produce positive impacts on the sustainability of economic, social and environmental factors. Our findings show that the local community is interested in the wider aspects of tourism development, which require careful management of social and environmental resources.
