| Abstract: | This study aims to examine the support of the community in the area of Saranda and Ksamil for sustainable tourism, as one of the most important industries on which the growth of its well-being is based. The reasoning focuses on the sociological tradition of social exchange that is guided by the premise that individual feelings can be important elements that influence the social response of people and the supportive or non- supportive attitude of the community toward the development of tourism. Based on this reasoning, we will try to find answers to the following questions: 1) How do the residents of Saranda and Ksamil evaluate the development of tourism in their area? 2) Are the residents of Saranda and Ksamil interested in the process of planning and developing tourism in their area? 3) Does the community support the development of sustainable tourism in the study area? Residents of the Municipality of Saranda and Ksamil are the target population that possesses the desired information to answer the research questions. In this study, the fact that the community in Saranda and Ksamil strongly supports sustainable tourism development strategies is evidenced. The study shows that the panorama of the development of the tourism industry in this area and its problems are clear for the residents who express that they are worried about the situation and the community finds the solution in sustainable tourism policies and strategies.
