Abstract

This paper examines how slow tourism—characterized by deliberate pace, local immersion, and environmental sensitivity—intersects with spatial planning, green infrastructure, and connectivity to foster sustainable tourism development. With a well-articulated geographic framework and a balanced analysis of environmental and socio-economic impacts, the article offers a conceptual and empirical foundation. Its integrative approach makes it especially valuable for researchers and planners interested in tourism geography, sustainable development, and regional regeneration.
