Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of environmental and non-environmental roles of tourism organisations in 
protecting environmental natural resources and developing sustainable community livelihoods. A questionnaire was used 
to collect data from 510 employees of tourism-related organizations involved in managing tourism’s environmental 
impacts on Hurghada, through a purposive convenient sampling approach. The results revealed a strong environmental 
role versus poor non-environmental role contributing to the sustainable likelihood outcomes. The study integrated 
sustainable livelihoods (SL) approach and collaboration theories to examine the role of a network of tourism-related 
organisations in improving Hurghada’s local community livelihoods.
