This study aims to investigate the impact of social entrepreneurship on the development of sustainable tourism. Methodologically, the research is descriptive and survey-based, and from an applied perspective, it is categorized as practical research. The study population comprised 360 experts from the administrative departments of Harsin County and employees of tourism service units with lived experience in the region. Among them, 186 participants were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling, and data were collected through a standardized questionnaire. The questionnaire’s validity and reliability were confirmed by experts in the field, and its reliability was further assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and confirmatory factor analysis. Out of the distributed questionnaires, 176 were completed and subsequently analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings indicate a positive and significant effect of social entrepreneurship dimensions on sustainable tourism development. Specifically, social passion plays a pivotal role in promoting tourism development.
