Abstract
This article analyzes cross-border tourism cooperation and its role in promoting regional integration and political stability. Cross-border tourism not only facilitates economic development and cultural exchange between neighboring countries but also strengthens diplomatic relations and fosters social cohesion. The paper examines the mechanisms through which cross-border tourism projects contribute to regional economic growth, political collaboration, and sustainable development, highlighting both opportunities and challenges associated with transnational tourism initiatives.References
