Abstract: Abstract Tourism is one of the world’s fastest-growing industries. Its expansion has far-reaching consequences for the economy, culture, community, and environment. On the other hand, the industry has hurt the environment, harming coastal communities. The tourism industry has contributed to air pollution from CO2 emissions, sea and water pollution from sewage waste, the introduction of plastics, and ecological deterioration, all of which have contributed to a gradual shift in climate in coastal areas and around the world. If left uncontrolled, tourism’s detrimental influence on the environment might gradually lead to even more destruction, so it must be managed effectively to reduce the risk of future damage. The primary goal of this research is to determine how the environmental impact of tourism can be reduced in the coastal community of Bangsaen Beach, Thailand. This analysis uses quantitative research and MS Excel codes. It analyzes the data gathered to create meaningful information that can derive inferences, including descriptive statistics such as mean, average, and percentage. The study results showed that respondents’ perception is that tourists contribute to sea pollution, traffic congestion, and air pollution in the coastal region. Respondents mostly agreed that tourism operators, the private sector, and the local government are the lead beneficiaries of tourism.
