This article examines the role of tourist product diversification in sustainable tourism development. Dependence
on traditional tourism forms can often lead to environmental degradation, seasonality, and social challenges. Developing
diverse and locally tailored tourism products helps manage visitor flows, enhance economic resilience, and preserve
cultural heritage. Based on policy document analysis and interviews across three regions, this paper evaluates the
economic, environmental, and social impacts of diversification. The findings confirm that diversification is a vital component
of sustainable tourism strategies.
