Key factors in tourism infrastructure development in the era of high demand

Abstract

The development of tourism service infrastructure plays a crucial role in supporting a sustainable tourism sector. Various factors such as land and port infrastructure, environmental sustainability, socioeconomic conditions, and the impact of tourism demand can affect the quality and effectiveness of this infrastructure. This study aims to identify and analyze the influence of these factors on tourism service infrastructure. Using multiple linear regression analysis, the research examined quantitative data to measure the relationship between independent variables (land and port infrastructure, environmental sustainability, socioeconomic conditions, and the impact of tourism demand) and the dependent variable, namely tourism service infrastructure. The results indicate that land and port infrastructure (β=0.326; p=0.005), socioeconomic conditions (β=0.474; p=0.000), and the impact of tourism demand (β=0.339; p=0.003) have a significant positive influence, while environmental sustainability exhibits a significant negative influence (β=-0.225; p=0.034). These findings emphasize the need for policymakers and stakeholders to integrate strategies that balance social, economic, and environmental factors to enhance sustainable tourism infrastructure. Practical measures such as improving port connectivity, fostering socioeconomic development, and managing tourism demand more effectively can significantly contribute to strengthening the infrastructure and ensuring long-term sustainability.
