| Summary: | The lack of waste management strategies in tourism area will lead to undesirable environmental
quality. This will gives bad perceptions towards the tourist. Hence, the implementation of carrying
capacity concept is an effort to preserve the tourism area as a sustainable tourist destination as
well as maintaining its natural value. Based on existing researches, it clearly shows the success
of the carrying capacity concept. However, most of it mentioned on the implementation of the
concept without stating the exact value of limit for each aspect of tourism.
Based on the research problem, objectives of the research can be formulated by studying the
environmental negative impact after the emergence of tourism area. Besides that, this research will
identify the limit of each aspect of tourism with observation of every possible circumstance.
This research focuses on two types of literature; the legal literature and carrying capacity aspect
of tourism development in tourism sites. Both literatures may be divided into the primary sources
and secondary sources. The primary sources consist of analyzing the lack of the current legal
materials and legal implementation besides the pilot interviews with the industry players. The
interview will support the existing data from the secondary sources search. As for the secondary
sources, supporting books and articles related to the topic will be examined. To achieve these
objectives, combination of descriptive and analytical will be done.
The output of this paper is a theoretical framework of carrying capacity in reducing the waste
produced in tourism area. The establishment of this carrying capacity value in the existing
guideline will help to promote sustainable tourism in Malaysia hospitality services industry.
