The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between assessments of solid waste management and sustainable tourism development, including its environmental, sociocultural, and economic dimensions, among representatives of public and private entities in the province of Contralmirante Villar, Peru in 2025. A quantitative, nonexperimental, cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted. The available population register comprised 466 representatives, of whom 392 participated and completed both questionnaires. Two questionnaires were administered, with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.928 and 0.885, respectively. Data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, and Spearman correlations. Solid waste management was perceived as effective by 48.5% of participants, while sustainable tourism development was rated as fair by 48.5%. A positive association was found between the two variables (rₛ = 0.547; p < 0.001). Positive associations were also identified with the environmental (rₛ = 0.492), sociocultural (rₛ = 0.541), and economic (rₛ = 0.512) dimensions, all with p < 0.001. Favorable assessments of solid waste management were associated with better assessments of tourism sustainability among participants; these findings describe perceptions and do not establish causality.
