摘要

Expanding tourist destinations requires significant investment, strategic planning, technology, conservation, and architectural innovation. Northeast India, rich in culture and nature, shows potential as a premier destination. This chapter analyzes tourist inflow (2018–2022 data) to develop a route map for visitor distribution and overtourism mitigation. By determining the Seasonal Index (SI), it offers insights for stakeholders on urban planning and architectural design to improve experiences and address challenges. The study used an opinion synthesis matrix to evaluate regional stakeholder perspectives, potentially influencing policy. Integrating 4IR technologies (AR, VR, IoT, and AI) and social media is crucial for smart destinations. Adopting a Maslowian approach, the research analyzes tourist psychology, integrating technology for aesthetically pleasing and smarter destinations. A mixed-method approach incorporates stakeholder feedback, seasonal and satisfaction indices, and revisit tendencies using primary and secondary data. Outcomes include a detailed route map, effective resource management, and practical design solutions against overtourism, creating smarter destinations. The study leverages tourist psychology, stakeholder opinions, revisit tendencies, and SI for sustainable resource and tourism management, enhancing overall experiences.
