The Role of Effective Logistics in Enhancing Sustainability and Development in Ecotourism and Rural Tourism
Abstract. The article explores the interaction between effective logistics and sustainability in ecotourism and rural tourism which is increasingly recognized as crucial to promote local development. Logistics, which covers planning, implementation and control of the flow of goods and services, plays a fundamental role in the tourism sector, which serves as a spine for operational efficiency and the facilitation of experiences that are environmentally and socially sustainable. When examining rural tourism, the transformative impact of logistics becomes even more pronounced. Rural destinations often face unique challenges related to accessibility and infrastructure. Effective logistics strategies can close the gap between remote areas and broader markets, promoting connectivity and encouraging the flow of resources and visitors. Improved logistics not only improves the experience of visitors by reducing time and travel costs, but also facilitates better market integration for local producers and artisans, which allows them to show their offers and traditions to a broader audience.
