| description | Community-driven marine debris management is key to sustainable island tourism. This qualitative research aimed
to explain perspectives on waste management for sustainable tourism, via two case studies of Andaman Islands. Data were
collected by reviewing secondary data, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions with nineteen key informants: 6
marine debris collectors, 6 community leaders, 5 entrepreneurs, and 2 government officers. Content and narrative analyses
were applied. Marine debris management comprised 2 main perspectives with 4 minor perspectives, valuable for policy and
long-term planning. Notably, understanding internal factors like beliefs and motivations towards sustainability is crucial for
effective waste management strategies. |
