AB Tourism sustainability is a long-term exploration process of human beings seeking to coexistharmoniously with the ecological environment. The core of sustainable tourism development is toachieve the harmonious development of the economy, society, and environment. Aragon’s richtourism resources attract many tourists, and the local government has formulated a sustainabledevelopment strategy to develop tourism vigorously. This paper constructs a tool to assess thesustainable development of tourism in Aragon based on the theory of sustainable tourismdevelopment and related methods. It proposes the construction of synthetic indicators based onthe environmental-social-economic triad model, identifies individual indicators suitable for thestudy of the region based on indicators that appear more frequently in related studies, and definesand evaluates these indicators. We construct the matrices by questionnaire and expert consultation method and find that environmental and social factors significantly impact sustainabledevelopment. The indicators are then standardized and weighted using hierarchical analysis todetermine the level of sustainable development of the local tourism industry based on the standard for assessing sustainable tourism development. The steps and methods of constructingsynthetic indicators proposed in this paper can guide future analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of tourism development in Aragon and similar areas under different conditions, as well asfor the study of factors affecting tourism development, and provide targeted suggestions forimproving the competitiveness of local tourism, taking into account regional tourism characteristics and actual conditions.
