“…As Ara et al [95] found, island tourism impacts the coral reef and local microclimate, as the reduction in the coral reef footprint was 38% in St. Martin's Island. Tsilimigkas and Rempis [55] found significant human-induced island tourism activities that underline the conflicts of sea use. Quevedo et al [40] highlighted the environmental disadvantages of island tourism as the scarcity of water and resources; land, water, and air pollution; and noise and solid waste.…”

“…Quevedo et al [34] found that island tourism depends highly on coastal and marine resources on Busuanga Island of the Philippines. Tsilimigkas and Rempis [55] found that dive tourism is the key to Rhodes's socio-economic development. Yu and Spencer [56] thought that island tourism's benefits for farmers include higher profits, farm resource efficiencies, food education, and rural cultural tradition education.…”

The purpose of this study is first to propose a comprehensive evaluation model for sustainable island tourism, and then to provide guidelines and suggestions for the development thereof. Based on the advantages of using fuzzy set theory, this study’s method included the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM), the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), the analytic network process (ANP), and FDM- DEMATEL-ANP (FDANP). From the literature review results and experts’ surveys, the dimensions of the evaluation criteria for sustainable island tourism are governance, economy and finance, socio-culture, and the environment. Compared with other studies, its major contributions and differences are the governance and finance dimensions, and the evaluation criteria for the marine industry, marine cultures, and marine environments. The findings show that the relative importance of the dimensions from high to low are economy and finance, governance, the environment, and socio-culture. The top five key criteria begin with having an official administration organization, having a tourism industry, and revenue uncertainties based on public health events. These, along with policies and regulations, and local food and drink, are thought to provide the necessary conditions for sustainable island tourism. The implications for theory and practice and future research directions are discussed.

“…In the period under review (1993 to 2021), 80% of the publications suggesting scuba diving management date from 2008 onwards. Recent studies, from 2014 onwards, reveal a growing concern with stakeholder participation in the planning and management process [3,20,21]. This growing concern about the impact of diving activity brought about increased attention to awareness-related measures and increased data collection and monitoring from the perspective of a greater focus on the preservation of marine ecosystems [1,22,23].…”

There are a considerable number of studies reporting the negative impacts of recreational diving and their causes, yet there is a gap in the information regarding the aspects of activity management. This paper presents a systematic approach to the management measures found in the literature. A large part of the measures identified address stakeholders’ awareness, data on the activity, and implementing adapted management measures. Stakeholders need to be integrated into the entire process of managing the activity because they are the target for correcting actions. A knowledge gap of the evaluation of the “ecological carrying capacity” of dive sites exists, along with a lack of methods for its assessment. This study informs future steps on the development of an integrated management and monitoring model that encompasses the assessment of ecological carrying capacity in further research. It also brings a vision of sustainable management of the recreational diving activity by advancing the conceptual framework of scuba diving and tourism integrated management.

We discovered several dimensions and topics by reviewing academic documents that belong to this parameter including, among others, managing awareness of the significance of external risks to local diving operators [111], constructing artificial reefs to preserve coral reefs from several threats such as climate change, heavy human activity, and commercial usage and providing new tourist destinations that changed diving and diving experiences [112], developing scuba diving guide features to ensure diver safety and environmental impact considerations associated to this activity [113], supporting the socioeconomic enhancement of coastal zones and islands by developing maritime infrastructure, such as diving parks [114], and educating scuba divers to achieve environmental goals for coral reef protection [115].…”

The Global natural and manmade events are exposing the fragility of the tourism industry and its impact on the global economy. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism contributed 10.3% to the global GDP and employed 333 million people but saw a significant decline due to the pandemic. Sustainable and smart tourism requires collaboration from all stakeholders and a comprehensive understanding of global and local issues to drive responsible and innovative growth in the sector. This paper presents an approach for leveraging big data and deep learning to dis-cover holistic, multi-perspective (e.g., local, cultural, national, and international) and objective information on a subject. Specifically, we develop a machine learning pipeline to extract parameters from academic literature and public opinions on Twitter, providing a unique and comprehensive view of the industry from both academic and public perspectives. The academic-view dataset was created from the Scopus database and contains 156,759 research articles from 2000 to 2022, which were modelled to identify 33 distinct parameters in 4 categories: Tourism Types, Planning, Challenges, and Media &amp; Technologies. A Twitter dataset of 485,813 tweets was collected over 18 months starting March 2021 to August 2022 to showcase public perception of tourism in Saudi Arabia, which was modelled to reveal 13 parameters categorized into two broader sets: Tourist Attractions and Tourism Services. Discovering system parameters are re-quired to embed autonomous capabilities in systems and for decision-making and problem-solving during system design and operations. The proposed approach improves AI-based information discovery by extending the use of scientific literature, Twitter, and other sources for autonomous, dynamic optimizations of systems, promoting novel research in the tourism sector and contributing to the development of smart and sustainable societies. The paper also presents a comprehensive knowledge structure and literature review of the tourism sector based on over 250 research articles.
