Abstract

Background and Objective: Tourism is one of the main ways of developing regions in diversifying the national and regional economy, and in many countries, investment in this industry and its related infrastructure is considered a key priority. The aim of this study is to evaluate the consequences of rural ecotourism with an emphasis on intra-regional economic relations in the villages of the Sardinia region.
Methodology: The research method was descriptive-analytical and survey, so that after conducting library and documentary studies, in accordance with the topic and reviewing the background and literature of the research, the findings were analyzed from two aspects of evaluating the consequences of ecotourism and examining economic relations through a questionnaire consisting of two groups of native people, 90 people, and experts, 10 people, with SPSS22 software. The first group included: villagers (local residents) to determine the sample size, to complete the questionnaire in 5 villages, which were classified into three categories of villages with historical, religious, and natural attractions and distributed randomly. And the other was the selection of experts, who used the opinions of experts and researchers in this field to measure the validity or reliability, and the reliability of the questionnaire was measured based on the level of tourist satisfaction, which was confirmed by using the Cronbach's alpha formula, using 100 preliminary questionnaires, with 95 percent.
Results and Findings: The results indicate the maximum exploitation of rural resources by the city and less confirmation of the existence of a trend of expansion and development in the studied area. In general, the actual demand for tourism in the region is weak, so appropriate planning and prioritization of tourism development using existing capabilities can eliminate the threats and weaknesses of tourism development in the Sardouia sector and ultimately act as an important step for sustainable rural development in this region.
