Sustainable tourism has emerged as a major focus in the development of the tourism sector worldwide, considering the impact of tourism activities on local communities and the environment. Accessibility is crucial to tourism growth and might affect visitor interest and trust if not effectively supplied. Accessibility in tourism includes highways, docks, parking, pedestrian walkways, and special needs facilities. This study examines sustainable tourism accessibility self-efficacy in Pangururan District, Samosir Regency, Indonesia. This mixed-methods study sent 268 questionnaires to tourists and locals and interviewed tourist site managers, Pangururan regional administration, tourist village leaders, and the Samosir Regency tourism office. Pangururan District’s accessibility fails sustainable tourism requirements. Roads, ports, parking, and pedestrian walkways are well-developed, but special needs facilities are lacking. Thus, more must be done to make tourism places accessible and enjoyable for all tourists, including those with special needs. To improve tourist accessibility in Pangururan District, infrastructure and amenities should be improved.
