Abstract
A green economy is a sustainable economic system designed to balance environmental preservation, social equity, and economic growth. It emphasizes reducing environmental risks, efficiently utilizing natural resources, and promoting human well-being. Key focus areas include investments in renewable energy, low-carbon transportation, and clean technologies, all contributing to sustainable development. The research aims to identify the perceived benefits,challenges, and the government's role of the transition to a green economy in the Egyptian tourist destination. The research population included tourists visiting the Red Sea destination and tourism experts. A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed among tourists, with 366 valid responses analyzed after excluding 34 invalid ones. The interview with nine of tourism experts conducted to gather information about the green economy. The research results indicate that natural beauty such as beaches, marine life, and coral reefs is the primary motivator for tourists choosing the Red Sea as their destination. The findings reveal strong support for measures encouraging the transition to a green economy, particularly those focused on raising public awareness, government investments, and policy implementation. Furthermore, the results demonstrate a significant and positive correlation between green economy policies and all dimensions of sustainable tourism development. Based on these findings, the research recommends developing policies and regulations to support the implementation of green economy principles.
