Abstract: The study aims at the theoretical and methodological substantiation of a regenerative-preventive approach to managing the sustainable development of tourism and hotel-restaurant businesses under conditions of global climate change, as well as developing an applied three-component classification of management tools for such development. It is established that definitions of «sustainable development management tools» are characterized by a high level of abstractness, declarativeness, and static nature. Thus, the approaches available in the scientific literature ignore the dynamism, service nature, and direct dependence of tourism-hospitality businesses on local ecosystems. In this context, there is a need to shift the philosophical perception of sustainable development: in today's reality, it is not a form of corporate philanthropy, but a prerequisite for business viability, as hospitality operations directly exploit shared resources. It is proven that the degradation of these local assets (due to anthropogenic pressure or climate change) inevitably transforms into direct financial losses for the business. Based on the concept of a closed-loop management cycle, an applied three-component classification of sustainable development management tools has been proposed and scientifically substantiated. It is proven that this classification encompasses the following functional groups: technological, analytical, and digital. It is concluded that the identified triad of tools ensures a continuous cycle of monitoring, forecasting, and correcting management actions based on feedback, allowing businesses to shift focus from mitigating the consequences of environmental crises to their preventive avoidance and the direct reproduction of resource potential. At the same time, the practical value of the study lies in formalizing a mechanism for selecting sustainable development tools based on an individual profile of the business's ecological dependence and a model for assessing the net preventive-regenerative effect, which allows tourism and hospitality businesses to preempt the degradation of destination resources, as well as reduce the operating cost of services in the face of «foodflation», «climateflation», and the rising cost of tourism services.
