“…The literature is unanimous in its conclusion that including local communities in the management process helps in the creation of more sustainable types of tourism (Bello et al, 2017;Iqbal et al, 2022;Kilipiris, 2005;Lee & Jan, 2019;Swarbrooke, 1999). It leads to an increase in a sense of ownership and better preservation of resources on which the tourism industry is based.…”

Community participation as an efficient tool for gaining local residents' support for the development of sustainable and competitive tourist destinations has been adequately established in the tourism discourse. However, due to the dynamic nature of the industry and the associated complexities involved, the conceptualization in terms of theory and operationalization of the notion concerning practicalities is still debated. Given that the wrong conceptualization of the phenomenon could lead to wrong operationalization which would translate into unwanted consequences both for the destination developers and destination communities, the issue cannot be ignored. To address the issue, this study proposes a normative model of community participation with an aim to put some of these complexities in a clear perspective. By employing Tosun`s typology, it is argued that community participation in tourism planning and decision-making, operationalization and management, and benefit receiving takes place at different levels based on the degree of control and authority that local residents have over the tourism development process. To ensure meaningful participation in all the major stages of the developmental process, local communities need to be adequately empowered. A high level of empowerment would ensure spontaneous participation which is the most desired level of participation. On the contrary, a lower level of empowerment would result in coercive participation with the least control and benefits reaching the local communities. It would ultimately lead to antagonization and a lack of local support for any destination development strategies that the developers adopt for sustainable and competitive tourism in the locality.

“…The literature on the topic of tourism sustainability has grown significantly in recent years, as evidenced by a search for articles utilizing the keywords "tourism", "sustainability" and "bibliometric analysis" in Scopus and the Web of Science (WoS) databases. As of 28 January 2023, a total of 53 articles were found that addressed various aspects of tourism sustainability, such as over-tourism [2], corporate social responsibility [3,4], community participation [5], sharing economy [6], sustainability education [7], sustainability in hospitality and tourism [8], tourism management and marketing [9], and tourism entrepreneurship [10,11]. This indicates a growing interest in the field of tourism sustainability and highlights the need for further examination of the literature in this area.…”

This study conducts a literature analysis on tourism sustainability to understand the current state of research in the field and identify potential areas for future study. The analysis, based on 3823 articles published between 2020–2023, aims to examine the number of citations of the main articles, determine the main authors and countries dealing with tourism sustainability, examine the interactions between authors and countries, and determine which dimensions of sustainability (economic, environmental, social, and cultural-historical) attract the most research interest. The results reveal that the economic dimension of sustainability is the most researched followed by the environmental dimension, while the social and cultural-historical dimensions receive less attention. This study provides valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers in the field of sustainable tourism, particularly in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry.

“…The research in the field of sustainable tourism with the use of bibliometric analysis is gaining supporters and is discussed in the literature on a large scale (Table 1). The main research problems of bibliometric studies on sustainability and tourism are: a) the identification of the most popular topics and research problems (Davidescu et al, 2022;Iqbal et al, 2022;Khanra et al, 2021;León-Gómez et al, 2021;Serrano et al, 2019;Singh et al, 2022;Trip et al, 2021); b) the geographical volatility of studies (Garrigos-Simon et al, 2018;León-Gómez et al, 2021;Shasha et al, 2020); c) the geographical distribution of authors (Jiménez-García et al, 2020;Pahrudin et al, 2022;Sánchez-Cañizares et al, 2018); and d) the changes in the number of articles related to sustainable tourism over time (Mihalic et al, 2021;Seguí-Amortegui et al, 2019). There is definitely a lack of bibliometric studies on the moral and ethical issues of research on sustainable tourism.…”

“…The conducted bibliometric research on sustainable tourism is largely based on the Web of Science (Franceschini et al, 2016;Jiménez-García et al, 2020;León-Gómez et al, 2021;Pahrudin et al, 2022;Rosato et al, 2021;Serrano et al, 2019;Trip et al, 2021) or Scopus (Hasana et al, 2022;Iqbal et al, 2022;Niñerola et al, 2019;Yoopetch and Nimsai, 2019). The analyses of detailed databases or individual journals are less frequent (Khanra et al, 2021;Liu and Li, 2020).…”

The core values of sustainability should be emphasised: economic development, social inclusion, equity as well as diversity, and environmental protection. Those values should be reflected in various characteristics of studies on sustainable tourism. And this is the question we ask in our paper: are the studies of sustainable tourism sustainable? To address that question, we applied a bibliometric analysis of papers published within the last ten years in the Journal of Sustainable Tourism, the most influential scientific journal strictly focused on sustainable tourism issues. The analysis has revealed some doubts related to financial support for the research presented in the papers published, open access to the investigated articles, the differentiation of scientific disciplines whose achievements are presented, the expected methodological triangulation applied in the investigated papers, spatial volatility of case study areas in empirical works presented in the journal and, finally, the Anglo-American domination in the discourse on sustainable tourism.
