Introduction
Green tourism and green investment are two important areas related to sustainable development and environmental conservation, which focus on promoting economic and social development and protecting natural resources and local culture. On the other hand, green investment focuses on supporting projects and activities that achieve environmental and social benefits in addition to financial returns. Recent years have witnessed increasing interest in the environment and its impacts on social and economic conditions, which has led to the encouragement of green investment as a basic requirement for sustainable development and the transition to an economy that considers environmental aspects.
Based on the above, and to examine and discuss these trends that contribute to enhancing awareness of the importance of green tourism and green investment as approaches to achieve sustainable development and preserving resources, the Eighth Jordanian International Conference on Tourism and Hospitality 2024/ Faculty of Tourism and Hotels/Yarmouk University comes to address these topics and to shed light on the challenges and impacts related to them.
