Abstract
Tourism development is being treated as an essential element of national establishment as it has the potential of promoting cultural diversity and increase economic growth of country. However, it is also viewed as a culprit due to depletion of natural resources. In this respect, it is quite thoughtful to probe the government support and its moderating impact on association of tourism development with sociocultural degradation, national resource depletion, economic environment, and pollution reduction in Indonesian context, as Indonesia is known to be rich in terms of natural resources and recognized as the multicultural country. By using PLS methodology, the association among outlined construct and model significance has been probed in the sample of tourism management authorities. Findings disclose that government support and policy intervention significantly moderates tourism development and growth and depletion of natural resources in Indonesia. Insights from the findings finally help in proposing some unique implications that are beneficial for policymakers and practitioners.
