Ecotourism is a significant component of the global tourism industry, particularly in rural areas abundant in biodiversity and natural habitats\u2026 AHP prioritized criteria such as scenic value, safety, and environmental impact, while GWO identified the most sustainable routes. The River Path achieved the highest Composite Route Utility Score of 834.2, with 86% of respondents preferring low-impact, uncrowded routes (less than 10% crowding, under 15% degradation). Community involvement positively influenced over 70% of participants, with 86% agreeing it improves route sustainability. This framework helps policymakers design routes that maximize visitor satisfaction while promoting ecological conservation and sustainable tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
