Abstract
This article examines the influence of road infrastructure on the tourism sector, emphasizing its economic, social, and environmental ramifications through a comprehensive literature review. Utilizing Google Scholar, an initial compilation of the 100 most significant papers was refined to 52 for a thorough examination. The results indicate that road infrastructure significantly contributes to tourism by stimulating local economic development, generating employment opportunities, and minimizing transportation expenses. From a social perspective, it enhances the quality of life within communities, diminishes income inequality, and encourages increased engagement in tourism development initiatives. Nonetheless, from an environmental standpoint, road construction disrupts ecological systems, elevates emissions, and accelerates the degradation of natural resources, underscoring the necessity for sustainable infrastructure planning to reconcile tourism expansion with environmental preservation.
