Tourism and Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

Tourism is a global industry that is increasingly recognised for its intricate relationship with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This chapter aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis (performance analysis and science mapping), employing software such as VOSviewer and R Studio to unravel the scholarly landscape on the interplay of tourism and SDGs. Using the SCOPUS database, the study collected bibliographic data related to articles on tourism and SDGs. R Studio was utilised for performance analysis, and VOSviewer was employed for science mapping and network analysis. Contributing valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers by providing a nuanced understanding of the scholarly landscape of tourism and the SDGs the study guides future research by highlighting the interplay of tourism and SDGs and fostering sustainable tourism practices aligned with SDGs.
