“…It assists with gathering every single related publication and document that fits our predefined inclusion criteria to respond to a particular research question. It utilizes unmistakable and systematic methodology to limit the event of bias during searching, identification, appraisal, synthesis, analysis and summary of studies (Antman et al, 1992) At point when the technique is done appropriately and has no significant mistake, the review can give reliable findings and reliable conclusion that could end up being useful to decision-makers and scientific practitioners to act accordingly (Antman et al, 1992;Khizar et al, 2021). The SLR is the fundamental procedure and it guarantees that the work is thoroughly arranged before the actual review work starts (Mengist et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the drivers and barriers of travel behavior associated with tourist behavior during/post-COVID-19 pandemic to provide a knowledge base as well as an agenda for future research.Design/methodology/approachThe authors utilized the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) technique for searching the articles published in Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus, to identify the main drivers and barriers affecting the tourist behavior during/post-COVID-19 pandemic. Eventually, 47 articles were chosen for the final analysis.FindingsThe findings are reported in three sections, (1) quantitative research profile, (2) qualitative synthesis and (3) future agenda. This study addresses the nuanced questions regarding the significant change in tourist travel behavior, emotional dynamics and a detailed understanding of mechanisms, such as which drivers and barriers affect tourist behavior in a particular destination. Drivers and barriers to tourist travel behavior were characterized in personal-related, destination-related, and health-related factors. Moreover, this study provides thought-provoking ideas in theory, policy and practice in the field of tourism and hospitality.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has three limitations, as follows. First, the authors searched only two databases, Scopus and Web of Science, due to which the authors might be missing some related studies existing on the other databases. Although these databases provide an extensive range of academic literature, further studies could extend the data collection from the other databases (e.g. via Taylor & Francis). However, our systematic literature review (SLR) coverage is quite extensive, since journals are listed on these three main databases. Second, the authors followed a main study search protocol based on the synonyms and related keywords, however, some of the studies that may be related to the tourist behavior towards the destination are missing on account of the lack of our keywords in there, title, author, keyword and abstract. Furthermore, future research could endeavor to add other keywords to expand the results of studies. Third, although the accurate analysis was conducted to reduce subjectivity in identifying themes for drivers and barriers of tourist behavior, future studies on categorization could work to ensure that other sub-themes categorize.Practical implicationsThe recent study has some key practical implications. First, this study is valuable for all the stakeholders in a unique way, including destination managers, academicians and policymakers, because it provides insight into barriers and drivers that influence the development of tourist behavior towards the destination. Second, the current study also offers practical implications for people involved in tourism service industries including governments and private businesses. Policymakers and other leaders are increasingly interested in harnessing the economic potential of tourism. Therefore, identifying the barrier which is inhibiting the tourist traffic towards the destination is beneficial to understand and effectively develop strategies to minimize the effect of such factors. Moreover, drivers and barriers of tourist behavior towards the destination in the COVID-19 pandemic situation towards the destination may help to create a framework for the development of destinations according to the current vulnerable situation. Third, current findings suggest that tourism marketers understand the drivers and barrier constructs found in this study and tailor their marketing strategies for attracting existing and new tourists. For instance, marketers should understand the drivers and barriers of tourist behavior for effective strategy development to increase the positive effect of drivers and to reduce the negative effect of barriers.Originality/valueThis is the first systematic literature review on the impact of drivers and barriers of tourist travel behavior. This paper analyses the methods and approaches that have been used in the previous literature to examine the drivers and barriers of tourist travel behavior. The paper ends with the research implication and limitations of the studies.

“…More broadly, there is a large set of review articles addressing different aspects of Sustainability but not touching on the SDGs specifically (e.g. Rathner, 2013, on Socially Responsible versus Conventional Investment Funds; Khizar et al, 2022, on the Conceptualization and Measurement Challenges of Sustainability Orientation; Lopez‐Torres et al, 2021, on Sustainability for Competitiveness for Firms; Carter & Easton, 2011, on Sustainable Supply Chain Management: Evolution and Future Directions; Khizar et al, 2021, on Business Orientation and Sustainable Development; Katz et al, 2022, on Employee Green Behavior: A Meta Analysis; Vysochan et al, 2021, on Sustainability Accounting; and Adhikariparajuli et al, 2021, on CSR Implications and Disclosure in Higher Education). These are just examples of relevant meta‐analysis reviews pertaining to Sustainability in general, highlighting some important angles being tackled in recent scholarship.…”

“…Therefore, recent studies have suggested that firms should adopt a mix of orientations in a dynamic and competitive environment (Hakala, 2011). Likewise, recent studies have demonstrated the significance to study the synergistic and interaction effects of multiple strategic orientations instead of focusing on investigating a single orientation in isolation (Ho et al, 2016; Khizar et al, 2021). In line with this, Hakala (2011) conducted a systematic meta-analytic review of multiple strategic orientations in management literature.…”

Organizations are constantly searching for new pathways to ensure survival and sustainability in a highly dynamic and competitive environment. Against this background, the present study aims to propose a strategic framework considering the crucial role of small businesses and entrepreneurship for sustainable economic, social, and environmental development. This paper employed a selective-intensive literature review technique to review and evaluate extant sustainability orientation (SO) literature from multiple strategic orientation paradigm. In addition, drawing from the theoretical underpinnings of resource complementarity and configuration perspective, this study proposes a configuration of sustainability orientation (SO), entrepreneurial orientation (EO), and market orientation (MO) in the era of sustainable development. The key finding of this paper is the development of a higher-order dynamic capability, that is, Entrepreneurial Responsible Orientation (ERO). ERO is proposed as an entrepreneurial strategic framework that integrates three distinct but complementary elements (i.e., sustainability, entrepreneurial, and marketing) under the umbrella of strategic orientation that drives superior sustainable firm performance. Moreover, we put forward the future research agenda by developing several potential research questions, thus, the findings of this study will serve as a springboard to extend the knowledge base in this field of research. This paper provides an integrated framework in the contexts of small businesses and entrepreneurship by utilizing the combination of the theoretical and conceptual development approaches. The proposed framework, if implemented successfully, has the potential to drive sustainable performance of the small firms particularly, and sustainable development of the country, generally.
