Abstract

This paper explored conceptual replica of interlinkages between infrastructure, services and sustainable tourism. The major perception is to develop a conceptual replica and lay solid foundations for future research. Infrastructure problems have a wide-ranging impact on service delivery and quality assurance, increasing the problem of tourist destination sustainability. The sustainable infrastructure and services are crucial in putting sustainability practices in place. Destinations with poor infrastructure and services generate a slew of negative externalities that jeopardise their long-term viability. For methodology, the models and theories related to concepts described above are taken from standard data webs of Elsevier, J store, Taylor and Francis, Emerald, SAGE, ABDC journal papers, Springer, and MDPI. The theoretical framework confirms strong relations and recommends further scientific investigations. It is inferred that the better infrastructure and standard services could be beneficial for tourism stakeholders in ensuring the better operation of sustainable tourism at destinations. As a result, broad opportunities for empirical research are generally brought into the light to help researchers for further studies.

Abstract

The paper is empirical in the course of methodological contributions and policy implications. It studies the quantity of tourism infrastructure obtainable for destinations in the Kashmir Valley. For analysis, quantitative data were collected from the head offices of numerous departments facilitating infrastructure facilities. The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is widely famous for its tourism potentials. Nevertheless, it needs to catch up in tourism infrastructure. The low quantity is visible in components and needs a comprehensive measurement to identify lags. Subsequently, identifying the significant areas of weakness required a scientific mechanism and an approach to remove such bottlenecks. Therefore, measurement of Infrastructure based on scientific methods is indispensable to identify the areas of inadequate facilities and to remove obstructions. Subsequently, composite index based analyses were adopted to compare and rank the quantity of Infrastructure of five popular tourism destinations. Tourism Infrastructure Index exposed disparity by dimensions and among the destinations. It is revealed that a low amount of Infrastructure is evident for most destinations and, therefore, affects the development of tourist places. So, the provision of sufficient quantity is recommended and depends upon the geospatial characteristics, nature and necessities of the destinations.
