They face many socio-economic and environmental challenges to implement sustainable tourism practices in their daily operations.

The study employs triangulation design to conduct the research. Survey method was employed for identifying the sustainable tourism indicators and personal interviews with resort managers were conducted to identify the operational issues and challenges of wildlife resorts for the implementation of sustainable practices.
