The study delineates an all-encompassing strategy for this progression, encompassing a range of pivotal stages. These contain the identification of local potential, the conservation of historical landmarks, infrastructure enhancement, diversification of tourist activities, adept promotion and marketing, cooperation with local communities, elevation of local gastronomy, implementation of hygiene and security protocols, facilitation of educational and cultural initiatives, and the establishment of a continuous assessment mechanism. By embracing this strategic framework, the research aims to stimulate the evolution of Arab Village into a captivating tourist attraction while ensuring the sustainable economic well-being of the local community. The research objectives are delineated as follows: to conduct an exhaustive exploration of tourism growth within Arab Village, with a specific focus on ethnic tourism, to glean insights into its current status and prospects for expansion, to ensure the preservation and safeguarding of both the physical and intangible aspects of tourism within Arab Village throughout the developmental process, thus safeguarding its cultural and historical legacy, and to optimize the economic benefits stemming from the tourism sector in Arab Village while proactively addressing potential challenges through the adoption of sustainable practices, thereby contributing to the enduring prosperity of the local people.
