Ecotourism is becoming more and more significant because it aids in environmental protection and maintaining the sustainable growth of a region. Mizoram is known for its potentially varied landscapes, which draw visitors from many nations and territories. The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach was used in this study to evaluate land suitability for ecotourism initiatives in Mizoram spatially. The study also focused on role weighting (subjective, objective, and intergraded) on the decision-making process. In this regard, the weightage of twelve ecotourism influencing factors was determined to integrate with the TOPSIS model and the Geographical Information System (GIS) environment. As a result, five hierarchical ecotourism zones, including very high to very low, have been classified using Jenks’s natural breaking classification. The model’s accuracy based on the area under the curve (AUC) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve revealed that all models successfully predict potential ecotourism in the marginal hilly region. As a result, the intergrade weighting combined TOPSIS model showed that 25.18% of the study region has very highly suitable for ecotourism. The results of this study may be used as a foundation for assessing the feasibility of resources suitable for ecotourism development by government officials and planners.

Ecotourism comfort is an important way to promote the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, and it is the concrete implementation of the concept of harmonious coexistence and the theory of “Two Mountains”. Based on the urban comfort theory, the ecotourism comfort level of Chengdu city from 2010 to 2020 was measured. The MCR model and the gravity model were used to extract the potential corridor of ecotourism comfort to identify the core area of ecotourism comfort, and its configuration path was analyzed through a qualitative comparison of fsQCA fuzzy sets. The findings are as follows: (1) The overall level of ecotourism comfort in Chengdu has been improved, and the spatial distribution has a “core-edge” structure, which has obvious characteristics of “polarization leading and common development”. Among them, Wuhou District, Qingyang District, and Longquanyi District are the core areas, and the driving effect on marginal areas is particularly significant. (2) The potential ecological corridors in Chengdu are more densely distributed in the east than in the west, with significant north–south variations within both regions. (3) The core corridors of ecotourism comfort originate from Xinjin District and Longquanyi District, characterized by a banded distribution and primarily concentrated along the southwest–northeast axis. (4) The high level of ecotourism comfort in Chengdu is primarily manifested in five distinct types: “comprehensive drive, resource–transportation synergy, technology–transportation integration, government–led investment, and tourism market–technology linkage”. The research results offer a theoretical basis and scientific reference for enhancing the comfort level of urban ecotourism and comprehensively promoting the sustainable development of ecotourism.
