Abstract Green tourism is an evolving concept in sustainable development, particularly important for developing countries rich in biodiversity and cultural inheritance. The present study surveys the role of government policies in promoting green tourism in developing countries, with a focus on Malaysia, Costa Rica, India, Thailand, UAE, and Brazil. The article is based on secondary data analysis, comparative studies, and content evaluation.The findings expose how government policies, such as tax incentives, eco-certification programs, and public-private partnerships, have helped the countries adopt sustainable tourism practices. However, several challenges like gaps in the implementation of policies, monetary burdens, environmental collapse, and absence of stakeholder responsiveness keep on creating hindrances in the development of green tourism, predominantly in developing countries.
A broad comparative analysis approach is adopted in this research study. It brings out realistic recommendations like boosting policy structures, signifying financial enticements, furthering accountable tourism, and encouraging local community involvement. The article points out the implication of broad strategies adopted by the governments of select developing countries in promoting green tourism and ensuring global environmental conservation and socio-economic growth.
