Sustainable tourism has transitioned from a niche market to a global necessity. Unlike traditional mass tourism, which often leads to environmental degradation and economic leakage, sustainable tourism focuses on the "Triple Bottom Line": social equity, environmental integrity, and economic viability. This paper explores how sustainable tourism practices serve as a catalyst for local economic development. It examines the "multiplier effect," the reduction of revenue leakage, and the empowerment of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Through a qualitative analysis of global and local frameworks, the study concludes that while challenges like seasonality and infrastructure exist, the long-term economic resilience provided by sustainable practices outweighs the short-term gains of mass tourism.
