The threat of climate change and the advancement of sustainable development goals to control this threat have been among the countries priorities. The tourism sector can be essential in promoting sustainable development goals by implementing sustainable processes. The primary purpose of this research is to focus on 23 provinces of China to analyze the sustainable tourism modeling according to the annual data for 2010–2021. The findings confirm that for all Chinese provinces, the increase in the general level of prices has a significant and long-term adverse effect on the sustainable development of the tourism industry in the provinces of China. In contrast, the effect of this variable is not significant in the short term. Moreover, the impact of foreign direct investment on the sustainable development of the tourism industry in the short term and the long term is positive in high-income provinces and negative in low-income provinces. The recommended practical policies promote a green financing market and green FDI development.

“…Therefore, green innovation is considered a critical success factor for green development and high-quality environmental sustainability (Zhai and An, 2021;Shen et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2022). The core concept of green innovation is to maximize the utilization efficiency of innovation resources in manufacturing firms while minimizing negative environmental impacts to enhance environmental sustainability efficiency (Zhu et al, 2021;Sun et al, 2022).…”

PurposeGreen innovation and sustainability are two contemporary initiatives that are gaining more and more attention from researchers, academics and industry professionals as they are considered important business strategies to improve environmental conditions and obtain better organizational performance. Besides, the growth of uncontrolled economic activities leads to an imbalance of economic, social and environmental values in different sectors. However, little is known about the mediating role that economic, social and environmental sustainability has in the relationship between green innovation and firm performance. Previous literature has focused on developed economies, but not on a developing economy such as that of Mexico. Therefore, this research aims to fill this existing gap by exploring the mediating effects of sustainability in the relationship between green innovation and firm performance.Design/methodology/approachA theoretical research model that theorizes, through ten hypotheses, the antecedents and consequences of the mediating effect of economic, social and environmental sustainability and the occurrence between green innovation and firm performance is proposed. The model is tested through PLS-SEM using data that were collected using a questionnaire survey that was distributed among companies in the automotive industry in Mexico. In total, a sample of 460 responses was obtained.FindingsThe results suggest that green innovation has significant positive effects on economic and environmental sustainability, as well as on firm performance, but not on social sustainability. The results also indicate that the relationship between green innovation and firm performance improves considerably with the mediation of economic, social and environmental sustainability.Research limitations/implicationsDespite the present study focused on an industrial sector that is commonly at the forefront of technological development, it was limited to a specific region of Mexico. Thus, its results must be taken with caution as more extensive results including other regions and nations will be required to further validate the results obtained from the present study.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study have important implications for both policymakers and managers of manufacturing firms in the automotive industry as they can be used as a basis to formulate better strategies and policies to enhance the capabilities of companies to develop innovations that could reduce environmental risks and other consequences of climate change.Originality/valueThe present study adds to the innovation and sustainability body of knowledge by analyzing and discussing the mediating role of sustainability in the relationship between green innovation and firm performance. It also generates new knowledge about the mediating effect that sustainability has on the relationship between green innovation and firm performance, particularly in the context of a developing economy such as that of Mexico.
