tourism development

Hi,
Could you have a look at these two sentences?

As for permitted developments, new buildings (both for housing and tourism purposes)1 are allowed only in areas adjacent to existing cities, towns and villages and provided that (i) they are proved to be necessary, with reference either to demographic trends or tourism-related2 needs, and at the same time that (ii) they do not exceed carrying capacity of beaches3. No new developments are allowed in areas previously designed by the local master plans as areas for tourism developments; in these areas only completion, refurbishment and change in use (from residential to tourism use2) of existent buildings are permitted.

1. '... both for housing and tourism purposes': I am looking for a coincise expression which includes housing, hotels, restaurants, resorts ...
2. I couldn't find in a dictionary an adjective connected to tourism, apart from "touristy" which carries a negative connotation. Any suggestions?
3. '... carrying capacity of beaches': actually, it is not only beaches, but also rocky parts of coastline. Is there a world which comprises both?

Plase feel also free to suggest any possible corrections, improvements and so on Emotion: smile
Thanks in advance!
