“…There is a need for a shift in perspective to seek criticism on the sustainable tourist development approaches that promote economic prosperity while neglecting the environment. The concept of sustainable tourism has grown very quickly in the past decades, as defined by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) [18,25] in compliance with the United Nations (U.N.) Sustainable Development Goals [20]. Currently, there are numerous set indicators for evaluating tourism and tourist destinations, including analyzing their level of sustainability: Global Destination Sustainability Index (GDS-Index): 70 Global Destination Sustainability Index (GDSI2019).…”

This paper examines architecture for tourism, focusing on destination design. In the past forty years, tourism destinations and their impact have been affected and transformed by emerging topics such as the impact of social media and the necessity of sustainable indicators in the tourism industry. In the global panorama of ongoing tourism transformations, Saudi Arabia has recently established new governmental opening regulations that started in 2019 for visitors and tourist visa entry. The country is facing a rapidly transforming economy, and new destinations for tourism will impact the country’s growth in the coming years as part of the Sustainable Destination Program in alignment with the ambitious targets of the Saudi National Vision 2030. The adopted methodology of the study compares selected parameters of two significant Saudi Arabian case studies, AlUla and The Red Sea Project (TRSP), for the ongoing sustainable tourism destination development of planned tourist giga projects. According to the findings, AlUla and TRSP demonstrated an intense commitment to sustainable tourism through their efforts concerning protected areas, environmentally friendly transport, and significant rewilding and reforestation. The research’s conclusion emphasizes Saudi Arabia’s commitment to innovative thinking, long-term growth, and sustainable tourism. The study’s implication is primarily suited for destination design; it suggests potential applicability even in smaller-scale tourism development projects or additional comparisons in sustainability design approaches in diverse contexts, particularly in the MENA region.

“…The sustainable tourism theme contains 86 articles (15% of total). Scientific research has always been very focused on assessing the sustainability of tourism [45]. The development of governmental sustainable management strategies (n = 25), community residents' perceptions and attitudes towards participation in tourism development (n = 28), spatial evolution of destinations (n = 8), low-carbon environmental measures in ecotourism (n = 12), and community livelihood diversification (n = 13) have been studied as factors influencing sustainable tourism in WHSs.…”

Research progress and knowledge system of world heritage tourism: a bibliometric analysis

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the context of integrating culture and tourism, world heritage tourism research has become a focus in tourism research in recent years. There are increasing discussions in academic circles on the content and methods of this field. Clarifying the knowledge system of research is conducive to dialogue with international theoretical frontiers and integrating, analyzing, and predicting the progress and lineage from a more comprehensive perspective. Still, few studies on the knowledge system of world heritage tourism research have been conducted. To fill this gap, this study uses the SSCI and SCI sub-databases of Web of Science Core Collection as the data source with the help of CiteSpace and VOSviewer software to measure the knowledge system of world heritage tourism research. A bibliometric analysis of 567 publications between 1992 and 2020 was conducted to construct a framework of a knowledge system based on literature statistics and content analysis, revealing the geographic research regions, theories and methods, themes and contents, trend evolution, and future research inspiration. The results show that: (1) the number of publications tends to increase gradually, with the highest in 2019. The authors and research institutions are mainly concentrated in Europe, America, East Asia. China has the highest publications. More literature on cultural heritage as a geographical study area than natural heritage. (2) The research themes, objects, and methods of the sample literature have become more diversified with the advancement of the research stage. The literature on multi-stakeholder research is the largest, followed by tourism impacts and research on World Heritage Sites’ resource management techniques and methods. These studies provide a multifaceted interpretation of the sustainable development of World heritage tourism, mainly from the perspectives of both supply and demand. However, the theoretical system is still incomplete. (3) Future research should strengthen the theoretical system construction, research innovation, cooperation, and research exchange in world heritage tourism research. Pay more attention to the research on the pluralistic value system of world heritage. Focus on exploring research on world heritage tourism’s resilience and localization dilemmas under the impact of the New Crown epidemic. To reveal the synergistic mechanisms and paths of diversified livelihoods of World Heritage Sites’ residents in ecologically fragile and impoverished areas.

“…Menurut Sulistyadi, dkk (2019), pariwisata berkelanjutan merupakan pengelolaan pariwisata yang harus mengintegrasikan tiga hal yakni ekonomi, lingkungan dan sosial budaya. Prinsip ini juga sejalan dengan prinsip UNWTO 1 bahkan telah dipertegas dalam buku panduannya Indicators of Sustainable Development for Tourism Destinations A Guidebook (Marinello, et al, 2021) Dalam kasus Wakatobi, maka pembangunan pariwisata berkelanjutan harus dapat memastikan adanya distribusi keuntungan ekonomi secara adil terutama kepada masyarakat lokal Wakatobi selain dapat berkontribusi pada pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional. Sementara pada aspek lingkungan, pengelolaan pariwisata di Wakatobi perlu menjamin kelestarian lingkungan (alam), khususnya ekosistem pantai dan laut Wakatobi, yang pada dasarnya merupakan aset penting dari pembangunan pariwisata Wakatobi.…”

Presidensi G20 Indonesia menetapkan pariwisata sebagai salah satu sektor prioritas dalam program pemulihan ekonomi pasca Covid-19. Sebelum terjadi pandemi global Covid-19, pariwisata merupakan sektor andalan dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional dan global. Artikel ini membahas sentralitas peran negara untuk mendorong pembangunan pariwisata yang berkelanjutan. Artikel ini menggunakan metode studi kasus tunggal, observasi, dan wawancara. Analisis tulisan menggunakan perspektif Environmental-State untuk menganalisis peran strategis negara untuk mempromosikan norma keberlanjutan dalam pembangunan sektor pariwisata. Kesimpulan menunjukkan bahwa negara sangat berperan dalam mengarahkan sekaligus menentukan proses pembangunan pariwisata berkelanjutan di Wakatobi. Ada tiga modalitas negara yang tidak dimiliki oleh aktor lain yang sangat berpengaruh dalam mendukung peran sentral negara, yakni: otoritas legal formal, anggaran yang berkelanjutan, dan jaringan birokrasi. Oleh karenanya, kepemimpinan negara sebagai �environmental state� dengan visi dan komitmen yang kuat tentang keberlanjutan akan sangat menentukan bagi keberhasilan pembangunan pariwisata berkelanjutan.
