The results of the study reached a high degree of answers of the study sample regarding the impact of the ethics of the tourist guidance profession on the development of ecotourism, halal tourism, and sustainable tourism, indicating that the commitment of tourist guides to the ethics of tourist guidance encourages the development of tourism patterns.
