Abstract

The study examines the antecedent of sustainable tourism development in the Sundarbans, Bangladesh context, using the influence of political instability as a moderator and destination resilience as a mediator. Social exchange theory and the complexity theory are underpinning theories. The study follows the positivism philosophy, quantitative method, and deductive approach. SmartPLS (4.0) analysed 339 responses using structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings evidenced that infrastructure development greatly affected destination resilience but had a negligible effect on sustainable tourism development. In contrast, place image and stakeholders’ integration had a negligible effect on destination resilience and sustainable tourism development, and political instability did not provide evidence of a moderating effect. Besides extending the applicability of the abovementioned theories, the study’s empirical findings will enhance the consciousness and proactivity among relevant stakeholders, tour operators, tourists, residents, businesses, policymakers and government regarding sustainable tourism and achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) through the tourism industry.
