| Summary: | The worldwide adoption of sustainable models has been motivated by an increasing
awareness of the negative environmental impacts caused by unsustainable economic
development models. The paper explores the relationship between the tourism industry and
sustainable development goals during the period 2015-2021, using 245 studies from the
Google Academic database. Various approaches, such as Word Cloud analysis, correlation
network, and word network, were used to identify frequently occurring words and word pairs
in the research domain. The R software was used for this research. Empirical results were
used to identify the most relevant journals in the field and the most prolific authors. The
Journal of Sustainable Tourism addresses specific themes such as “food”, “community”,
“sanctions”, and “social”. Sustainability focuses on “culture”, “heritage”, “local”, and
“environment”, while the Worldwide Hospitality and Tourism Themes journal represents a
niche in the field, covering topics such as “community”, “health”, “well-being”,
“investment”, and “growth”. Thus, the results obtained can provide significant contributions
to public policies and independently applied practices within the industry, facilitating more
informed decision-making in support of sustainable development. This research contributes
to the specialised literature by identifying current research trends in the tourism industry and
its relationship with sustainable development goals, highlighting dominant themes based on
the keywords used. These interdisciplinary connections can lead to deeper understanding and
more efficient solutions for sustainable development. |
