| Abstract | Coastal and maritime tourism (CMT) is very popular in various corners of the world. It is arguably the largest component of the tourism industry as well as one of the largest wedges of the maritime economy sector (Tegar and Gurning 2018). Research has considered both coastal and maritime tourism to be among the oldest and largest segments of the tourism industry (Hall 2001; Ecorys 2013). Coastal tourism and marine tourism are interconnected as both rely on the marine environment (Vierros and De Fontaubert 2017; Tegar and Gurning 2018). These coastal and marine zones are well-known for providing specific habitats for diverse and unique biodiversity along with picturesque scenic beauty that attracts many tourists, offering the potential for CMT. This is part of blue tourism, along with some other types of sectoral development, including the exploration of offshore hydrocarbons and other natural resource extraction (Islam and Mostaque 2018; Alam 2019). |
