This article discusses the emergence of tourism ethics in tourism studies. It focuses on the contradictions that are expressed in the United Nations World Tourism Organization's (UNWTO) Global Code of Ethics for Tourism (World Tourism Organization 2007[1999]). These contradictions lead to politically contentious issues involving heritage and point to ethical conflict for anthropologists who study tourism and, particularly, for those who are involved in tourism development projects.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, the main achievements and miscalculations of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) from 1975 to 2020 are researched in detail. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) is a specialized intergovernmental institution of the United Nations system, which is responsible for promoting sustainable, responsible and sustainable development. Thus, the main goal of this organization is to promote tourism, which will make an invaluable contribution to economic prosperity, maintaining peace and international security, prosperity of states, respect and observance of human rights and freedoms in the world. By taking appropriate action, UNWTO is moving closer and closer to achieving this goal. Therefore, this article traces the statistics of the growth of the level of international tourism in all regions of the world during the organization existence period and in recent years. In addition, the reverse process has been recorded, namely why 2020 is considered the worst year for tourism, and what losses follow when, for example, between 100 and 120 million workers in the tourism industry have lost their jobs. The work also depicts the creation of the regulatory framework of the Organization, which is undoubtedly an achievement. It is impossible not to mention the agreement on the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), signed in 1976, the Manila Declaration on World Tourism in 1980, the Tourism Code in 1985, and so on. Also, the implementation of the Global Code of Ethics in Tourism and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals maximizes the socio-economic growth of the tourism industry. In addition to the adoption of important documents, it is also worth paying attention to the variety of activities of the Organization. Throughout its existence, UNWTO has held a large number of international forums, conferences, seminars, etc., from cultural to technical topics. These achievements are confirmed by the fact that international tourism has become one of the means of the countries’ economic growth. The achievements of this organization are also reflected in universal recognition, for example, 2002 was declared the International Year of Ecotourism, and 2017 – the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, during which a number of thematic events were held with a large number of people. In addition, Tourism Day is celebrated every year on September 27, which testifies to the popularity and importance of the industry for the world. Recognition is also evident through the cooperation of UNWTO with more than 200 international organizations, such as the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC). However, despite the huge number of positives of the organization, there are still some miscalculations. This is the amount of membership fees and gaps in tourism statistics and classification. In general, UNWTO is the leading international intergovernmental organization on travel and tourism, whose main functions are to promote global tourism through planning, development of recommendations and direct assistance to member countries in increasing the tourist attractiveness of regions, given the economic benefits.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper is to explore and illuminate the preliminary impacts of novel coronavirus disease (COVID- 19) in tourism industry of Nepal. The spillover impact of pandemic has been seen in almost every sector globally. Many scholars and practitioners have already started rethinking and researching in different disciplines based on issues regarding COVID-19. Some of the disciplines are International tourism, health sector, international economy, global politics, human civilization, sustainability and so on. The United Nation World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and World Health Organization (WHO) are closely cooperating for understanding the severe impact of escalation of coronavirus on the human health and damage in the world economy as well as tourism sector (UNWTO, 2020). There are uncountable job losses recorded in tourism industry due to stranded traveller’s mobility after many nations including Nepal declared lockdown as a strategy to control the spread of virus Therefore, devastating Airlines, shuttered borders, halt of transportation means and cancellation of rooms in hotels have a vigorous impact on tourism industry than the COVID-19 outbreak itself. It is obvious to experience changes in tourism industry; tourist’s behavior and their reluctance to travel for few years. However, travel of humans for any motives will provide spectrum to tourism mobility. The epidemic has drastically turned into pandemic as the virus has transferred to almost all the nations of the globe without visa so far.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the article is to explore and describe the resources made available by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) during the COVID-19 pandemic and discuss their role in fostering knowledge and promoting awareness in society. The resources are examined using a conceptual model of website evaluation proposed by Li and Wang (2010), which has been adapted to be applicable to the organizational context of UNWTO. The findings show that the UNWTO website resources can be divided into two categories: resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic, e.g. information about existing special groups, and resources connected with the core mission of the UNWTO, e.g. important events from before the pandemic or the organization’s main goals. There are new interactive tools, developed specifically in relation to the pandemic, with relevant data for those involved or interested in the tourism sector. The resources are freely available, easily accessible, abundant, varied and highly informative. The UNWTO website is a gateway to knowledge, providing information about, reasons for and effects of relevant actions of the organization, e.g. raising awareness of the importance of both the pandemic problem but also tourism itself, securing considerable funding for the tourism sector by making world leaders aware of the facts and the importance of tourism, or promoting safe travel measures and encouraging actions aimed at accelerating the recovery of the tourism sector.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary society has experienced a significant evolution in its engagement with sustainability, driven by various factors, including global initiatives such as the United Nations (UN) Global Compact (2000), further energized by the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study explores the interplay between tourism and these UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, employing a bibliometric analysis of scholarly literature, with findings processed through Iramuteq software. The investigation reveals that academic discourse connects tourism to 13 of the 17 SDGs outlined in the UN’s 2030 Agenda, with a predominant focus on SDG 8 – decent work and economic growth. Notably, the analysis uncovers a discrepancy in the scholarly treatment of SDG 14 – life below water, which, despite being earmarked by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) as a critical area for tourism, receives limited attention, in contrast to SDG 11 – sustainable cities and communities. The study concludes that the academic exploration of the nexus between tourism and the SDGs has been relatively superficial, lacking depth in the context of the broader tourism and sustainability discourse.

 UNWTO (United Nations WorldTourism Organization) is engaged in the development of international and globally accessible tourism.
 Within the framework of the economy of various regions of the world in modern conditions, tourism plays an increasingly important role. However, not all regions are able to ensure the long-term sustainable development of tourism on their territory. One of the main causes of problems in the development of regional tourism is the imperfection of the regional tourism management system. This article discusses the main issues related to the impact of tourism on the regional economy, and also proposes a number of measures to reform the management of tourism activities at the regional level.

To form the information basis necessary not only for the functioning of tourist companies, but also for regional authorities responsible for tourism development in the region it is necessary to know the existing forms of statistical observation in the field of tourism, statistical standards of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and the United Nations (UN), methods of statistical accounting of tourism in countries leading the level of development of the national tourism sector. Application of UN and UNWTO statistical standards allows to conduct more complete and comparable statistical studies, as well as to make statistical forecasts of tourism development as a component and important part of the economy of any region. Statistical tasks in tourism include: statistical analysis of visitors, analysis of efficiency of accommodation facilities, tourist consumption; organization of maintenance and analysis of tourist statistics; obtaining full information about qualitative and quantitative characteristics of tourist flow in the region and its dynamics. To solve these problems effectively, it is very important to use the long-term experience of statistical developments of the countries with developed tourist infrastructure, and, accordingly, tourism statistics. And also it is necessary to allocate tourism statistics as a separate direction of accounting and statistical research, taking into account the specifics of information collection, processing techniques, generalization and analysis of the initial data aimed at practical application of the results of the analysis. The need to form a methodology of data collection for the study of the state of tourism, which will meet modern requirements comparable with international generally accepted accounting systems. To form such a system, it is necessary to refer to the experience of foreign countries, to consider the basic methods of statistical accounting existing in modern world practice.

The need to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is universal for all high-, middle-, and low-income nations, but the momentum was disrupted by COVID-19. Tourism is an important sector to address SDGs where the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) emphasizes the positive role tourism could play toward meeting those goals. This paper is conceptually grounded within the scope of the SDGs and uses a case study approach. It uses the case of Nepal, a developing country, to demonstrate the struggles of developing nations to meet SDGs within the context of the pandemic. Based on the literature and available secondary data, similar cases are discussed to establish relevance for global contexts by reflecting how other developing nations with troubled tourism ecosystems due to the pandemic will negatively impact the movement on meeting SDGs. Further, future directions are proposed to gain momentum toward responding to the SDGs. Indeed, developing nations will struggle more than others, as the priority has been to deal with the COVID-19 impacts with limited available resources.

The key areas of work for the forming effective investment policy in sustainable tourism are identified, as well as challenges in the formation of consumer interest and demand for sustainable tourism products and their solutions are revealed. The scientific staff of the department UNWTO-RIAT and research laboratory for sustainable development of tourist destinations of Moscow branch of RIAT during the expert survey, conducted with the support of the Federal Agency for Tourism within the framework of scientific cooperation with the Organization United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in 2015 surveyed 92 experts in the field of tourism from 19 regions of Russian Federation. The study identified the main problems limiting and inhibitory management processes, as well as the main directions of work for the sustainable development of tourist destinations, which should be in focus of legal regulation of tourism development in the country and in the regions. The research results can be used by tourism authorities at the federal, regional and municipal levels for the formation of effective management stratgy, investment policy and the territorial system of marketing tourist destinations. The results of the expert survey can become a base for research and be used in the educational process. For the successful implementation of sustainable tourism development principles at all levels (federal, regional, municipal) the management and investment models should be clearly elaborated and business process algorithms for project management of sustainable development of tourist destinations and their promotion on the market should be created. All parties need to clearly understand and respect the interests of the subjects of relations, and in this case they need to have a common goal – an effective sustainable development.

The existence of the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center is an indicator of the seriousness of the government in tapping the potential of Lake Toba with the World-recognized National Geopark approach. Therefore, it is very interesting to explore the impact of the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center, especially for the surrounding community. On the one hand, the existence of the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center as one of the tourist information centers is a question of whether it is really needed, considering that tourists can now access digital information. Therefore this study seeks to see how the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center applies the principle of sustainable development to maintain its existence. This research method is a combination of the quantitative Keynesian Income Multiplier method and interview techniques with the sustainable tourism development approach of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) by combining practical principles. The results obtained show that economically, the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center has an encouraging impact on the number 1: 1.26, meaning that for each additional tourist expenditure of IDR 10,000, local income will increase by IDR 12,600. On the other hand, the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center has attempted to apply the principles of sustainable tourism development in view of the dimensions of business quality, social sustainability and environmental balance recommended by UNWTO, but improvements are needed for aspects of tourism facilities and activities.

The year 2017 was declared by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development. Tourism is seen as a “driver of development and peace, promoting the harmonious co-existence of people from all countries” (Beijing Declaration 2016). A principle of sustainable tourism is to “build sustainable cities and communities”. From this perspective, tourism should support the wellbeing of all actors involved. Wellbeing of hosts, should be achieved when sustainable tourism guidelines are fulfilled. Wellbeing of guests is necessary to make any destination attractive for tourism. The question posed in this paper, however, challenges that view. The paper presents a theoretical analysis of wellbeing in relation to sustainable tourism and to hosting and guest communities. The first section talks about wellbeing conceptual backgrounds including Social Indicators, index of life quality based on values, subjective wellbeing or responsible wellbeing one. The second section focuses on the analysis of wellbeing in sustainable tourism conceptual background, including the differences between the guidelines provided by WTO (2005), and the latest guidelines published by UNWTO ((United Nations World Tourism Organization)) and UNGA in 2015. The third section juxtaposes wellbeing conceptual background with tourism, the most prominent gaps and challenges of wellbeing regarding hosting communities and tourists.

Sustainable tourism has become a new method of practicing tourism. It has emerged in the last part of the 20th century, from the efforts of academia as a response to the increasing negative effects of mass tourism, noticeable all over the world. At the same time, sustainable tourism is considered by some a utopia, a narrow niche of the tourism market, with limited perspectives. From a theoretical standpoint, it is highly debated with no consensus regarding its definition, features and principles. In recent years, although significant steps have been taken especially by international organizations, like UNEP (The United Nations Environment Programme) and UNWTO (The World Tourism Organization), sustainable tourism still faces numerous challenges. In the present paper, we have collected information from several authors and organizations and have presented some contemporary challenges for sustainable tourism. For our research, we have tried to identify several common challenges for six selected countries in Central and Eastern Europe – The Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania, and also go into a more detailed look in the case of Romania. Finally, we consider that if we can identify specific regional challenges, we might find regional solutions and answers. Considering the numerous similarities between the six countries, there might be common solutions for the benefit of the entire region.

Full textAbstract:
Poverty is ubiquitous in the nook and corner of the globe despite the efforts of international agencies including the UN to offset the issues pertaining to it. The challenges are increasing day by day. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) hence highlighted poverty eradication as one of its main mottos. The UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the apex body of tourism development also advocated the MDGs and quoted Tourism as a ‘War on Poverty’. Since then, Tourism has been widely considered as a tool for poverty eradication and economic equity. Many organizations like United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), World Bank, Department for International Development (DFID), International Labour Organization (ILO) and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have endorsed the power of Tourism in alleviating poverty. However, the voice is not unanimous across the academic community across the world. Various studies conducted by notable authors and also the publications have accused Tourism as a capitalist sector and also a threat to the indigenous cultures and economy of the third world countries. Many a debate on the theme point out that the influences of tourism on mitigating poverty are just superfluous. This paper is an attempt to highlight and analyse the discourses existing in the theoretical frameworks of tourism’s role in poverty elimination. This paper will also attempt to envisage channels for ideally bridging the contrasting points present in the theories.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate, which sustainable development goals (SDGs) are most mentioned in the sustainability programs of two hospitality companies, Rancho Mastatal and Reserva Conchal, in Costa Rica. In so doing, it is possible to evaluate the level of integration of sustainability principles with hospitality practice. Design/methodology/approach This paper features a case study based mainly on secondary information sourced from the corporate websites of the two companies, augmented by published studies about specific aspects of the SDGs, hospitality and news articles about both companies. Finally, the hotel-specific information was analyzed using studies about SDG progress, and also related frameworks, proposed by the United Nations (UN) and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). Findings Consistent with UNWTO studies, the two companies’ sustainable programs align the most with SDGs 11, 12 and 13. These are goals classified as difficult to achieve meaning that tourism has a pioneering and innovative role to play in this regard. Mastatal has fully implemented sustainability and Conchal demonstrates an advanced level of integration, using different types of technological solutions to increase sustainability. Finally, the advice is given for companies seeking to embrace the SDGs as a way of being innovative and better positioned in a highly competitive tourism market. Originality/value As SDG overviews exist for large global brands, this paper adds country-specific knowledge, that of Costa Rica a pioneer in tourism sustainability, of sustainable practices of a management company and also of an independent small company, broadening the scope of prior research.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable tourism is one that fully considers current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts and meets the needs of visitors, industry, the environment, and local communities. Sustainable tourism is part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Indonesia has adopted the SDGs. These SDGs and the sustainable tourism criteria set by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) are then translated into a sustainable tourism development program in Indonesia called Sustainable Tourism for Development (STDev). STDev has been stipulated in the Minister of Tourism Regulation (Permenpar) No. 14 of 2016 concerning Guidelines for Sustainable Tourism Destinations. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has recognized these programs and criteria as amended by Permenparekraf 9/2021.1. Permenpar 9/2021 discusses sustainable destination management, abbreviated as 3P + 1M, namely people, planet, prosperity, added with management. As for the research method used to answer problems regarding government compliance in implementing regulations, research will be carried out using socio-legal methods which elaborate legal phenomena with applicable laws. Thus, it can be seen that Permenpar 9/2021 has provided guidelines in an effort to realize sustainable tourist destinations through criteria and indicators that are easy for local governments to realize.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, finding affordable housing has been a notable challenge for the residents of historic cities in Europe. This paper aims to develop a novel vision for improving housing policies in the post-COVID time to moderate the long-lasting issue of affordable housing in historic cities. The research was developed based on the findings of the Atlas World Heritage in 2019. In this project, five European Art Cities, namely Florence, Edinburgh, Bordeaux, Porto, and Santiago de Compostela, discussed their common management challenges through the shared learning method. Focusing on the case study of Florence and using a mixed-method, we collected data through the municipality of Florence, map analysis, and distribution of a questionnaire among the city residents. Then, we used inductive reasoning to explain how reforming housing policies in the post-COVID time could moderate the long-lasting issue of affordable housing in historic cities. The findings suggest that housing policies need to be supported simultaneously at both international and local levels. From the international perspective, associated cultural heritage organizations, like United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and its advisory bodies and the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), need to develop restriction policies that manage tourism flows in historic cities like increasing the airline taxation. At the local level, Florence needs decisive housing policies that ban the growth of illegal tourist accommodation in the city. However, the privilege of establishing new hotels can be awarded in suburban or rural areas to support sustainable tourism goals.

TOURISM: Tourism is the movement of people to destinations outside their usual environment for various reasons, including leisure, business, or other purposes. These visitors' activities, known as the visitor economy, can have a significant impact on the visited locations economically, socially, and culturally. This can involve enjoying recreational activities, relaxation, and pleasure, often with the help of established businesses offering services and experiences. Tourism is a multifaceted and dynamic industry that has evolved significantly over the years. It encompasses the movement of people to destinations outside their usual environment for personal or recreational purposes, contributing substantially to the global economy and generating employment opportunities and income for millions. The tourism industry can be broadly categorized into two primary types: international tourism, where tourists travel to foreign lands, and domestic tourism, where tourists explore their own country. The most frequently visited countries by international tourists include France, Spain, the United States, China, Italy, Turkey, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Tourism serves as a crucial industry, providing employment and income to millions of people worldwide and contributing significantly to the economies of various nations. The steady rise in popularity of tourism since the 1950s can be attributed to advancements in technology, the proliferation of the internet, the increasing availability of paid vacations, demographic changes, and media exposure. The tourism life cycle, proposed by Professor Richard Butler, consists of four stages: initial discovery, growth, decline, and regeneration. This model helps us understand the pattern of popularity that tourist destinations follow. Tourism is not limited to leisure activities; it also includes business tourism, cultural travel, environmental effects of aviation, international tourism advertising, medical tourism, and science tourism, among others. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) plays a crucial role in promoting responsible, sustainable, and universally accessible tourism, providing statistics and insights on key indicators for inbound and outbound tourism globally. In conclusion, tourism is a complex and multifaceted industry that has a significant impact on the global economy and local communities. It encompasses various forms, including international and domestic tourism, and serves as a crucial source of employment and income for millions of people worldwide.

In 2015, the United Nations (UN) approved the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development to improve the lives of countries and societies. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) incorporated the agenda into the tourism industry. This study has as its primary objective an exploratory analysis of tourism activity in the EU-28 countries over the decade 2009–2018 and its adaptation to the Sustainable Development Goals through the lens of employment. This study focuses on the goals of decent employment and economic growth (O8) and gender equality (O5). The results obtained suggest that, in general, the eastern countries of the EU-28 show better values for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) (8) and SDG (5) with respect to both employment and the wage gap. However, these countries have lower GDP-weighted remunerations, which can become an opportunity to obtain higher shares of tourism activity within the EU. It is concluded that there is a need to reinforce the awareness of the fabric of the tourism business and for public administrations to favor stable and decent employment and a reduction in the current gender wage gap.

The importance of the contribution of tourism to climate change has been noted by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). By combining a process-based life cycle assessment (LCA) and input–output analysis, several researchers have attempted to evaluate the impacts of the tourism industry, as well as its products and services. Indeed, the tourism sector has a wide range of industries, including travel and tours, transportation, accommodation, food and beverage, amusement, souvenirs, etc. However, the existing cases do not show a breakdown of the impact on climate change. In this paper, the carbon footprint (CFP) of the Japanese tourism industry was calculated based on tourist consumption, using the Japanese input–output table and the Japanese tourism industry. We demonstrate that the total emissions were approximately 136 million t-CO2 per year. The contribution ratio of each stage is as follows: Transport 56.3%, Souvenirs 23.2%, Petrol (direct emissions) 16.9%, Accommodation 9.8%, Food and Beverage 7.5%, and Activities 3.0%. Then, in the breakdown, the impacts are in the following order: Air transport 24.7%, Petrol (direct emissions) 16.9%, Accommodation 9.8%, Food and Beverage 7.5%, Petrol 6.1%, Textile products 5.3%, Food items 4.9%, Confectionery 4.8%, Rail transport 3.9%, Cosmetics 1.9%, and Footwear 1.8%. In addition to transportation, this research also highlights the contribution from souvenirs, accommodation, and food and beverages.

Full textAbstract:
The 6th Conference of Wine Tourism, organized by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, 20222), dealt with very important questions regarding the future of wine tourism. It is obvious that the rapidly growing and increasingly complex social-economic-political and natural environmental challenges create a chaotic (non-sustainable) world in which the answers are possible through broad cooperation and radical innovations. This is the case with tourism, including wine tourism, because they are especially sensitively affected by these changes. (UNWTO, 20221) All of this goes far beyond the boundaries of the sector but, at the same time, creates broad opportunities for the active participation of all members in the value chain of wine tourism. Innovation in services, marketing, and partnerships creates broad opportunities for all value chain members, including travelers, companies, authorities, and locals, at a critical moment when active participation and conscious thinking can increase the value of wine tourism destinations and their environment. Failure to do so can significantly weaken the competitiveness of a given region. The work aimed at this may be the key to the future development of wine tourism and the survival of those interested who have lived from it until now. The last two years have brought significant changes in wine tourism and transformed travel logistics, wine experience planning, and consumer behavior. In addition, a number of challenges that had already appeared came to the fore - from digitalization to sustainability and network cooperation. Sustainability increasingly determines the services offered by wineries and vineyards and travellers' attitudes and purchasing decisions. Meanwhile, digitization and e-commerce have become vital tools in the hands of producers, distributors, and wine tourism businesses, as well as destinations. Necessary innovations in experiences, marketing, and partnerships create broad engagement opportunities for all value chain members. We are focusing on looking for answers to the following research questions, especially taking into account the Hungarian specialities: - On a global level, how important is it to consider sustainability in the wine tourism services of wineries, and to what extent is this differentiated depending on local conditions? - Globally and per country, what aspects do wineries consider in relation to the implementation of sustainable wine tourism? - How do the various sustainability aspects appear as a complex system in decisions about sustainable wine tourism services? Based on the analysis of international experiences and surveys, we try to provide local answers for Hungarian wineries to these questions.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess how far the government of Zimbabwe’s tourism policies and strategies have affected the development of the tourism and hospitality sector.
 Methods: The study was based on a review of the literature on tourism development in Zimbabwe. A range of peer-reviewed papers, reports from the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). reports from the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA), and those of the Ministry of Environment, Tourism, and Hospitality Industry were consulted. The information offered a clear picture of how far the government had contributed to influencing the development of the tourism and hospitality industry during the period. 
 Results: The results of the study showed that for the period up to 2000 the government played only a facilitating role in the development of the sector. The results further showed that the government took a more proactive role in planning the development of the industry only when the persistent negative image of the country threatened the collapse of the sector.
 Implications: It is recommended that the country effectively implements the National Tourism Master Plan and the National Tourism Sector Strategy which were launched in 2016 and 2018 respectively. A constant review of the National Tourism Sector Strategy will ensure an effective response to the global and national macro-economic, social and political changes that will occur during the plan period.

Purpose This paper aims to provide a network study of the structural and dynamical characteristics of tourism flows in Europe from 1995 to 2012. Design/methodology/approach Travels in Europe were studied by following the network science research paradigm and by focusing on the whole network of intra-European tourism destinations. Network analysis was used to map and reveal the pattern of connections between states as shaped by bilateral tourism flows. Data were provided by the United Nations World Tourism Organization, and the data were integrated with tourism data available from national statistical offices of the individual countries, when necessary. Findings For 2012, results obtained from the UNWTO record-based network were compared to geo-located Twitter data as a proxy of human mobility patterns. The present analysis provides evidence of a shift towards an increased homogeneity in the travelling preferences of European tourists, an acquired attitude of visitors to travel shorter distances and a tendency of mobility patterns to merge. Finally, the comparison between UNWTO and Twitter data shows a different spatial distribution of visitors. These results provide a useful insight for policymakers involved in tourism planning. Originality/value The contribution of this study is threefold. First, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the only study that focuses on the bilateral tourism flows between all countries falling, geographically or politically, under the definition of Europe. Second, evidence is provided of a shift towards a greater homogeneity in the travelling preferences of European tourists. Lastly, for the first time, this study provides a comparison between topological structure and bilateral mobility patterns of tourism flows, based on two different data-recording methods.

Bakas Village is one of the tourist villages in Klungkung Regency, Bali, which has begun to offer gastronomic tourism attractions based on traditions that are still maintained by the local community, namely the tradition of cooking traditional Balinese cuisine. This study was conducted to produce a study that explains how Balinese cuisine can become gastronomic tourism in Bakas Tourism Village. This study was conducted using a primary survey method, namely field observation and interviews with key informants from Bakas Tourism Village. Data collection was supported by a checklist instrument consisting of 7 variables with 28 indicators based on qualitative descriptions from the Guidelines for the Development of Gastronomy Tourism book published by the United Nation World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). It was filled in using the Likert scale method with a score range of 1-5. Furthermore, the results of this checklist were described using quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis methods. Based on observations and data processing, it was found that Bakas Tourism Village has great potential in developing gastronomic tourism. It's just that there are still several sectors that need to be fixed or developed again by Bakas Tourism Village in order to improve gastronomy in this village.

The tourism sector is one of the potential sectors to be developed in Indonesia. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) predicts the number of tourists will reach 1.8 billion by 2030. West Java has great potential for the development of religious tourism in Indonesia. During the 2022 year-end holidays, 1.18 million tourists came to Bandung. To develop this potential, the local government inaugurated the Al Jabbar Mosque, Gedebage, Bandung City, West Java to become a new religious tourism destination in the West Java region as a center for Islamic education, religious tourism and a representative public interaction space for West Java and even ASEAN citizens. This study aims to validate tourists' observations of religious tourism in the city of Bandung, especially the Al Jabbar Mosque. The aspects to be studied include attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioral control, religiosity and knowledge of tourists in influencing the intention to visit and recommend religious tourism of the Al Jabbar Mosque. In realizing the objectives of this study, a quantitative research method is carried out, in the form of a survey, 15 question items will be made containing the theory of planned behavior. Questionnaire data will be processed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) data analysis.

Sustainable tourism is defined by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) as tourism that takes into account the current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts of the industry (tourism), the environment, and the local host communities. ( Mahanani & Hananik, 2021). The hope of this research is to provide a comprehensive insight into the influence of tourist villages on various aspects of the life of Batulayang people. The aim of this study is to see how Batulayang Tourism Village influences the development of community-based tourism (CBT), economic, socio-cultural, and environmental growth. The research uses the Partial Least Square (PLS) method, which uses the Outlet and the Inner to analyze the data. Community-Based Tourism (CBT) offers new business opportunities to communities by creating community-based tourism that focuses on social and cultural elements, managing them sustainably. Social and cultural activities contribute indirectly to the well-being of the community, because the community prefers to make money rather than participate. It still cannot be transformed into a significant improvement in the well-being of the villagers. The results of this study found that community-based tourism (CBT) improves the quality of people's lives when applied in the environmental, economic, and social fields; However, the goal of Community-Based Tourism development is to boost the local economy, but people remain dissatisfied because they prefer to meet personal needs rather than participate in social and cultural activities. As a result, the welfare of the Batulayang tourist village has not improved significantly. Keywords : community-based tourism, local economic impact, community quality of life, cultural social impact

Full textAbstract:
<p>International tourism has become a global phenomenon, with over 1.3 billion arrivals recorded in 2023. However, this remarkable growth comes with significant economic, social, and environmental costs. In response, the adoption of sustainable tourism models has emerged as a key priority on international policy agendas. To support this effort, various indicator systems have been developed to define, measure, and manage tourism sustainability at destination levels. Despite a growing body of academic work on Systems of Tourism Indicators (STIs), comparative analyses of well-established frameworks remain limited. This study examines four leading STI frameworks: The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) guidelines, the European Tourism Indicators System (ETIS) developed by the European Commission, the International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories (INSTO) led by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), and the Smart Tourism Destinations framework (DTI-Spain) promoted by Spain’s Ministry of Tourism. Our methodology involves an initial review of the frameworks’ design and content, followed by a comparative analysis highlighting areas of alignment and key divergences. The findings underscore a shared foundational structure across the four STIs, yet reveal notable differences in their overarching designs, particularly in the emphasis placed on specific components. In conclusion, while substantial progress has been made toward establishing a unified framework for assessing tourism sustainability, further work is needed to enhance practical implementation and address emerging challenges.</p>

Full textAbstract:
<abstract> <p>Statistical information strengthening in tourism sector is recommended by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). Economic-statistical information is basic for carrying out effective quantitative economic analysis of tourism. Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) is not a suitable source of information for econometric analysis. National Accounts (NA), in the form of Input-Output (I-O) Tables, Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models or Social Accounting Matrices (SAMs) represent a good source of economic-statistical information and of economic impact analysis. This paper shows how it is appropriate to focus on the definition of tourists and tourism enterprises, overcoming the uncertainties and distortions in the analyses and results that the current leaning on a generic definition of tourism entails. Furthermore, it is argued that the best impact analysis can be conducted through the use of a SAM, which in addition to being structurally consistent with the choice of defining and implementing tourists and tourist enterprises, confirming its usefulness, allows to analyse fully and, from a theoretical point of view, more correctly than I-O Tables and CGE models, the impact of inbound tourism expenditure on production structure represented by branches, on factors and therefore on GVA/GDP produced by the branches themselves and on households expenditure. Furthermore, the suggested approach offers actual possibilities for assessing the economic sustainability of tourism development. Regional and national impact analyses carried out with the use of SAMs confirm the positions claimed in the paper.</p> </abstract>

The article describes and analyses current tourism trends that will impact the formation of leisure culture in the years to come. In particular, the development of domestic tourism under the condition of improving its service; the use of social networks for marketing and marketing of a tourism product; the development of internet technology, 24-7 blogging support; the development of virtual tourism, which is provided by virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality; 24-7 customer support chatbots (chatbots); robot staff in the system of essential tourism services (transport, accommodation and leisure services). Thus, if there is an improvement of domestic service, the current tourism trends will create an environment where we can expect Ukrainian tourism to be a significant segment of leisure culture.

Full textAbstract:
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), tourism is critical to a country's economic development. It acts as a catalyst for direct and indirect job creation, economic growth, and the attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI). To this end, the present study looks into the relationship between economic growth (GDP), domestic credit (DC), tourism (TR), FDI, and CO2 emissions for selected Mediterranean countries. This study employs panel corrected standard errors (PCSE) and dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) approaches to assure the trustworthiness of the findings. The empirical information gathered supports the idea that tourism adds to pollution in the analyzed blocs. Furthermore, the data supports the pollution haven hypothesis concept by demonstrating that an increase in FDI harms the environment. The study's findings advocate for precautionary actions to alleviate the detrimental effects of tourism-related pollution. Ecotourism policies that support sustainable behaviors must be developed and implemented. Countries can establish a balance between economic growth and environmental protection by implementing such policies. Governments, policymakers, and stakeholders must work together to create effective frameworks and policies that promote responsible tourism. This research fills a knowledge vacuum by shedding light on the specific dynamics of Mediterranean tourism businesses. Economic growth, domestic credit, tourism, FDI, and CO2 emissions are all linked, according to empirical research. The findings highlight the importance of establishing ecotourism legislation and constructing sustainable infrastructure to reduce tourism's negative environmental impacts. Countries may safeguard the long-term viability of their tourism businesses by finding a balance between economic growth and environmental protection.

AbstractIntroduction. In the world-wide literature, there is no unanimity in the assessment of the impact of mega sporting events on the tourism sector. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to quantify the impact of mega sporting events on changes in tourist inflow and the amount of expenditure incurred by visitors.Material and methods.In this study, an ex-post analysis of many different categories of mega sporting events was carried out in the context of their impact on selected aspects of the tourism sector in host countries. The study examined events organised in the years 1996-2014 classified into one of four categories: the Summer Olympic Games (SOG), the Winter Olympic Games (WOG), the Football World Cup (FIFA), and the European Football Championship (UEFA). The approach adopted made it possible to analyse the impact of sporting events on the tourism sector over 15 years. Data on both the inflow of tourists and the expenditure generated by them were taken from a single source – reports of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).Results. The results obtained are characterised by ambiguity, although the study identified the categories of sporting events and the sporting event phase in which clearly positive or negative effects on the tourism sector could be observed.Conclusions. The difficulty in confirming unambiguously positive, tangible effects on the tourism sector resulting from the organisation of mega sporting events makes it problematic to justify the commitment of large expenditure to preparing and conducting these events. It is necessary to look for other, intangible benefits related to the organisation of these events. It also seems appropriate to continue the research undertaken in the future on the basis of data disaggregated at the regional level.

Research background: Following the global trends concerning “tourism taxation,” South American governments identified and applied policies on taxation to raise revenues or fiscal relaxation measures to support their tourism sectors as strategies to increase its number of tourists, competitiveness, and the attractiveness of its destinations. Due to the COVID-19 threat, several countries have been forced to turn to emergency tax breaks and temporary changes in taxation measures. Purpose of the article: This research aims to determine which taxes, fees, and charges that affect the tourism sector in South American countries have been reduced/removed as a short-term measure to support tourism during the COVID-19 crisis. Methods: The paper is structured from deductive reasoning, which moves from a general to a more specific analysis. First, a basic description of the tax system’s specifications that affect South America’s tourism sector is presented based on comparative information in the form of an inventory of tourism-related taxes, based on an analytical study. With data obtained from the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and other international organizations which are tracking the policies’ responses to COVID-19, an assessment of the key policy responses from these countries related to “tourism taxation” will be made and compared with other regions. Findings & Value added: The contribution presented focuses on exploring and describing the role of taxes used as a measure to support the tourism sector. Then, the tax incentives/reduction or removal made as a government response to the coronavirus pandemic threat and its possible impacts were analyzed. It also highlights recent trends and interesting practices in South America.

Full textAbstract:
Ecotourism is an alternative to conventional tourism where tourists can enjoy natural scenery by prioritizing conservation aspects as a form of expressing responsibility to the environment. There are several popular ecotourism sites in Indonesia, one of which is Banyuwangi Regency, which was the world winner of the 12th United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) awards. This study was conducted to analyze the factors that influence the behavioral intention of tourists to ecotourism at Banyuwangi Regency. By knowing the factors influencing behavioral intention, tourism managers and local governments can gain better insight into strategies that can be adopted to increase consumers’ positive intention toward ecotourism. This research was conducted with multivariate structural equation modeling (SEM), and twelve hypotheses were tested. A total of 344 respondents participated. Six accepted hypotheses were revealed. A positive and significant influence was found on the subjective norm and destination image variables on ecotourism behavioral intention. The analysis found a positive and significant effect between ecotourism self-identity and subjective norm variables. Other results found that the biosphere value had a positive and significant effect on the environmental attitude, and the future time perspective and destination image variables were found to have a positive and significant effect on the environmental concern variable. Most respondents in this study admitted that they are individuals who have a love for nature and are willing to dispose of their garbage in its proper place. Further theoretical and practical implications were described.

Full textAbstract:
The hospitality industry is a major segment of tourism, which is, in turn, a main economic contributor for many destinations. Sustainable tourism practices are promoted worldwide by international organizations like the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) to assist different countries. Various frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), and environmental indices and management systems such as ISO 14001 are common assessment tools for environmental sustainability. This research reviews the relevance of incorporating environmental and socio-economic factors within hotel operations that may lead to improved transparency and operational effectiveness while guaranteeing adherence to sustainability within the hotel business. Accordingly, a systematic review of environmental sustainability assessments in hotels was carried out. A comprehensive analysis of research articles published between January 2000 and January 2023 by reputed databases ranging from Google Scholar, Scopus, and others, were used to conduct the literature review. A total of 38 papers were examined adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards, and it is worth noting that a significant increase in interest emerged in 2018, especially in Europe and Asia. The review reiterated the relevance and need to use relevant assessment methods and tools that aid in implementing sustainable development strategies to promote tourism-dependent economies, which can serve as a guiding note for varied tourism destinations. It additionally provides valuable knowledge for future directions, whilst improving research methods and incorporating innovative technologies. These advancements are essential as they may guide policy decisions to protect the environment within the hospitality industry.

Abstract In less than two decades, the global tourism industry has overtaken the construction industry as one of the biggest polluters, accounting for up to 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions as reported by the United National World Trade Organization (UNWTO 2018). This position resonates the consensus of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Consequently, research into the causal link between emissions and the tourism industry has increased significantly focusing extensively on top earners from the industry. However, few studies have thoroughly assessed this relationship for small island economies that are highly dependent on tourism. Hence, this study assessed the causal relationship between CO2 emissions, real GDP per capita (RGDP) and the tourism industry. The analysis is conducted for seven tourism-dependent countries for the period 1995 to 2014 using panel VAR approach, with support from fully modified ordinary least square and pooled mean group–autoregressive distributed lag models. Unit root tests confirm that all variables are stationary at first difference. Our VAR Granger causality/block exogeneity Wald test results show a unidirectional causality flowing from tourism to CO2 emission, RGDP and energy consumption, but a bi-directional causality exists between tourism and urbanization. This implies that in countries that depend on tourism, the behaviour of CO2 emission, RGDP and energy consumption can be predicted by the volume of tourist arrivals, but not the other way around. The impulse response analysis also shows that the responses of tourism to shocks in CO2 appear negative within the 1st year, positive within the 2nd and 3rd years but revert to equilibrium in the fourth year. Finally, the reaction of tourism to shocks in energy consumption is similar to its reaction to shocks in RGDP. Tourism responds positively to shocks in urbanization throughout the periods. These outcomes were resonated by the Dumitrescu and Hurlin causality analysis where the growth-induced tourism hypothesis is validated as well as feedback causality observed between tourism and pollutant emission and urbanization and pollutant emission in the blocks over the sampled period. Consequently, this study draws pertinent energy and tourism policy implications for sustainable tourism on the panel over their growth trajectory without compromise for green environment.

International Tourist arrivals, guest nights and their contribution to GDP are key indicators reflecting a country’s actual perception. A growing percentage of tourists prioritize environmental awareness across tourism products and services each year. Destinations aiming to meet the expectations of eco conscious travellers must center sustainability in their branding strategies. This approach aligns with UNWTO (World Tourism Organization of United Nations) Agenda 2030 of sustainable tourism development. This paper examines various dimensions of sustainability in tourism, focusing on Mumbai and Budapest. Using specific sustainability indicators, it employs sustainability city index to compare international tourism in these cities, which face distinct environmental and infrastructural challenges. By using specific sustainability indicators such as: (1) Carbon Emissions: Measurement of the total greenhouse gases produced by the city. (2) Proportion of Green Public Spaces: Evaluation of the percentage of urban areas dedicated to parks and natural spaces. (3) State of Infrastructure: Assessment of the quality and sustainability of urban infrastructure, including transportation systems. (4) Water Usage: Analysis of the amount of water consumed by the city and its conservation practices. (5) Waste Management: Review of the city’s effectiveness in managing and recycling waste. (6) Air Pollution: Monitoring of the levels of pollutants in the air to assess environmental health. This research provides a comprehensive view of how cities can attract environmentally conscious tourists. The findings offer guidance for policy makers and tourism professionals to align strategies with sustainable development goals. This detailed assessment highlights each city’s commitment to sustainability and delivers actionable insights for improving tourism strategies in accordance with global standards. While valuable for tourism professionals, it is important to note that this research covers only six SCI factors, with incomplete data for studied countries. The practical and social implications indicate areas needing improvement to enhance tourist appeal, beneficial for industry professionals and educational purposes. This comparative analysis aids in promoting sustainable tourism and can guide governments in achieving sustainability goals with raising awareness of environmental quality and conscious living.

Full textAbstract:
According to the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) annual Emissions Gap Report 2019, further reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are needed to reduce climate change impacts. In Japan, the 2030 Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) target is an emissions reduction of 26% compared to 2013. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has led to 43,341,451 confirmed cases and 1,157,509 confirmed deaths globally and affected 218 countries (as of 27 October 2020). In Japan, as of the same date, 96,948 infectious cases and 1724 deaths related to the new coronavirus had been recorded. These numbers continue to increase. In Japan, in March 2020, the number of international tourist arrivals decreased by about 93% compared to last year at the same period. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) reported several significant scenarios for the tourism industry. COVID-19 is the greatest shock to international tourism since 1950 and represents an abrupt end to the 10-year period of sustained growth that followed the 2009 financial crisis. It was thought that it would be possible to analyze the economic, environmental, and social impacts of rapid social changes. Thus, this study estimates changes in Japan’s tourist consumption, the carbon footprint (CFP), and employment due to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The calculations in this study adopt a lifecycle approach using input–output tables. Based on these observations, this study uses four scenarios (SR 1, no recovery until December; SR 2, recovery from October; SR 3, recovery from July or September; and SR 0, same growth rate as 2018–2019) for Japan to calculate the CFP and employment change using input–output table analysis based on tourist consumption, which is a tourism metric. According to our results (2019 vs. SR 1 and 3), the consumption loss is between 20,540 billion yen (−65.1%) and 12,704 billion yen (−39.1%), the CFP reduction is between 89,488 Mt-CO2eq (−64.2%) and 54,030 Mt-CO2eq (−37.5%), and the employment loss is between 2,677,000 people (−64.2%) and 1,678,000 people (−37.5%). As of November 2020, the tourism industry continues to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the post-COVID-19 society, it will be necessary to maintain the GHG emissions reductions achieved in this short period and realize economic recovery. This recovery must also be sustainable for tourism stakeholders and society.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This article aims to identify the image of Portugal as a tourist destination in international markets and the impacts of the economic crisis on that image. As the basis for the analysis, the results from the past three years of an ongoing research by IPDT – Institute of Tourism on this topic were used. The findings were used to support a discussion on the need for social and political stability and a climate of creativity and innovation in the tourism sector to foster growth and success. Design/methodology/approach – The article is based on official tourism information, research by IPDT on the tourists’ profile in Portugal and an ongoing research on “the image of Portugal as a tourist destination” carried out using as population the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) Affiliate Members directory. Findings – The international tourism market recognizes and appreciates the destination – Portugal, recognizing that the present context of crisis does not negatively affect Portugal’s touristic image. The results presented and discussed indicate a preference by respondents for “Wine” as the main touristic product that should be associated to Portugal in its international tourism promotion. This perception is clearly aligned with the prominence that Portuguese wines have been taking internationally and a perspective that indicates alternative products to the traditional “sun and sea” associated with the country’s tourism image. Practical implications – The research results presented and the supporting discussion allow for a better understanding on the present image of Portugal as a tourist destination and the alternative attributes to traditional “sun and sea” that may be used in its international promotion. These results may indicate the need for a repositioning of the destination by the introduction of new elements in the promotional messages. The reflexions presented may be of great use for decision-makers in-charge of international tourism promotion. Originality/value – This article analysis the impact of the economic crisis on the image of Portugal as a tourist destination, based on an international study carried out over a 3-year period. The results alert for possible discrepancies between the destinations positioning and the perceptions and desires of the markets.

Full textAbstract:
Culinary tourism also referred to as food tourism or gastronomy tourism, is engaged in by individuals who seek out culinary experiences to broaden their understanding of food culture or lifestyle while travelling. Tourism is very lucrative to local, state and national economies. Over the past decade, tourists have transitioned to seeking cultural experiences, where individuals immerse themselves in the cuisine and lifestyle of a culture, from street food to gourmet and fine dining. According to World Food Travel Association (WFTA), 80% of travellers research food and drink options while travelling to a new destination. Moreover, the organization states that 53% of these travellers consider themselves “culinary travellers.” With the COVID-19 pandemic limiting international travel, the impact has been greatly felt across all industries. The use of technology has been widespread during this time. During the height of lock-downs, with some of our favourite restaurants and food services unavailable, many people turned to social media to learn how to make their favourite dishes at home. So, from virtual cooking shows and tutorials, to live tastings and remote social eating have all been used to keep people engaged and interactive temporarily replacing the traditional experience. In support of the United Nations World Tourism Organization’s #TravelTomorrow campaign, chefs from around the world, including UNWTO Ambassadors for gastronomy tourism, shared their local recipes, giving audience a taste of what to expect when people start to travel again, and highlighting the unique potential of culinary. This paper using integrative literature review will highlight some of the impacts and challenges that food business especially small and medium establishments faced as a result of this pandemic. Caring about local food businesses and markets can help preserve our culinary roots. The recovery plan might be slow, but the tourism industry has always been resilient, it will survive.

Turizm, dünyanın en büyük ve en hızlı büyüyen sektörlerinden biri olup istihdam, büyüme, kalkınma, çevre ve kültürün korunması üzerinde belirleyici bir rol üstlenmektedir. Emek yoğun bir sektör olan turizm, diğer sektörlere göre nitelikli olmayan işgücünün çalışmasına fırsat veriyor olması nedeniyle de birçok kuruluş tarafından kadın erkek eşitsizliğini azaltmada önemli bir bileşen olarak görülmektedir. Nitekim Birleşmiş Miller Dünya Turizm Örgütü (United Nations World Tourism Organization-UNWTO) 2019 yılı verilerine göre küresel ölçekte turizm sektöründe kadın istihdamı %54 olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı dünyada en çok turist kabul eden sekiz ülkede küresel cinsiyet endeksi ile konaklama ve yiyecek-içecek sektöründe istihdam, eğitim ve kişi başı gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla (GSYH) arasındaki ilişkiyi panel veri analiz yöntemi kullanarak incelemektir. Çalışmanın bir diğer amacı seçilmiş ülkelerde, konaklama ve yiyecek-içecek sektörü istihdamını ve eğitimi hem ülkeler hem de cinsiyete göre karşılaştırmaktır. Rassal (tesadüfi) etkiler modeli kullanılan analiz sonucunda cinsiyet eşitsizliği ile istihdam, eğitim ve kişi başı GSYH arasında pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Cinsiyet eşitsizliği üzerinde en fazla etki gösteren değişken kişi başı GSYH’dır. Konaklama ve yiyecek-içecek sektöründe istihdam, eğitim ve küresel cinsiyet farkına göre karşılaştırılan ülkeler içerisinde Türkiye en son sırada yer almaktadır.

Full textAbstract:
According to UNWTO 2012 (United Nation World Tourism Organization), “Tourism has a great potential to accelerate progress across the Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs). In India, rural tourism is one of the modern and emerging concepts, gaining popularity for playing a significant role in rural development. This is an alternative livelihood through which local people are getting social, economic, and cultural benefits. And, the Ministry of Tourism is also focusing on creating rural tourism projects. At present, Govt. of India has 107 rural tourism projects in 29 States which is an initiative towards AtmaNirbhar Bharat and Sustainable Development in rural areas of India. Many goals of Sustainable Development are directly and indirectly related to the objectives of rural tourism and the Govt. of India wants to rejuvenate this to gain self-economic growth after the COVID-19 outbreak. So, this paper focused on how sustainable development goals like gender equality; decent work, economic growth, etc. are connected with rural tourism. This paper is based on content analysis techniques and secondary data like reports from the Ministry of Tourism, reports on evaluation cum impact study of rural tourism projects (2011), India Tourism Statistics (2022), National Sample Survey Office report, and National Tourism Policies, Internet and Mobile Association of India report on homestay. The paper provides an overview of the connection of rural tourism and SDGs and how it is helping to achieve some sustainable development goals in India.
