| This study delves into the factors shaping the ability of Egyptian tour operators to address climate change impacts, utilizing empirical analysis to identify and assess their influence. Employing quantitative research techniques through an online questionnaire administered to 114 tour operators in Egypt, the study aims to offer practical insights for managers, contributing valuable guidance for decision making and strategic planning in the tourism industry. The research distinguishes the most and least influential factors, revealing four statistically proven major influences on tour operators' capacity to mitigate climate change: tourists' desires, government policies, climate finance, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Conversely, mindset exhibits a limited influence, while environmental psychology indicates a moderate effect on tour operators' capacity to address climate change. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the intricate dynamics at pl ay in the Egyptian tourism sector, facilitating informed strategies for sustainable practices and environmental responsibility. The study presents theoretical insights, alongside practical implications designed for tour operators , and policymakers involved in tourism businesses. | ||
