Abstract
Governments in developing countries prioritize enhancing facility infrastructure in tourism, but neglect environmental considerations leading to negative impacts. The phenomenon of tourism is not problematic, but the conduct of stakeholders is. Negative perceptions arise from the lack of understanding of tourism among policymakers, local communities, and tourists. The Mindset Change of the Tourism People (MCTP) towards Responsible Tourism Behaviour (RTB) is crucial for Sustainable Tourism Development (STD) as these are directly involved with tourism. Partnerships with academia are necessary to inform policy and practice in the tourism industry.
