The Indigenous tourism focus of the 16 papers in this special issue provides readers with an opportunity to explore the dynamics behind an array of issues pertaining to sustainable Indigenous tourism. These papers not only provide a long overdue balance to the far too common, negatively biased media reports about Indigenous peoples and their communities but also highlight the capacity of tourism as an effective tool for realizing sustainable Indigenous development. Throughout the papers reviewed in detail here, readers are reminded of the positive (capacity building) and negative (commodification) realities of Indigenous tourism development. Concomitantly, readers are privy to the practical and theoretical contributions pertaining to the management of cultural values and Indigenous businesses and the social and economic empowerment of Indigenous groups. The main contribution of this special issue, however, is a call for increasing research by, or in collaboration with, Indigenous researchers so that Indigenous authors and editors of academic journals become the norm in academia. Ultimately, Indigenous scholars and tourism providers should be the major contributors to, and commentators about, mainstream and niche approaches to Indigenous tourism management, whilst communities gain visibility not just as the visited "Other", but as global leaders within tourism and related sectors.

“…This is a major challenge for tourism sustainability because a gentrified mountain community is not sustainable [77]. This is because the unique cultures of ethnic groups are among the unique pull factors bringing tourists to mountain destinations [78]. As noted in Table 2, the fact that the tourism business operators have ensured that tourism does not jeopardise the local's access to basic means of livelihood within the local community means that they understand the need for locals to be protected from their operations.…”

“…Furthermore, in many instances, they lack experience and crucial knowledge on planning tourism services. In fact, they do not know where to start when it comes to actively participating in tourism's economic activities [79]. This calls for ecotourism approaches where the tourism organisations collaborate with communities, helping them with the necessary skills on hosting tourists, then realise a win-win environment which empowers the local community and at the same time guaranteeing the tourism organisations of the support from the communities.…”

This paper assesses the use the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria (GSTC) indicators for monitoring tourism along a mountainous route. The study was carried out along a mountain route in the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa. A survey was carried out among tourism businesses, local communities and local government officials located along the Maluti Route, which passes though the eastern part of the Free State Province of South Africa. This study constitutes the first assessment in which the GSTC indicators are applied in the assessment of the sustainability of route tourism in South Africa. The study first evaluated the importance of each indicator by considering the level of application in tourism business organisations before examining the perceptions of local community members and local government officials regarding the applicability of the indicators in the assessment of tourism sustainability. The results suggest that there is a general appreciation of tourism sustainability among tourism business operators although shortcomings were evident on environmental and socio-economic indicators. In conclusion, the paper suggests ways through which tourism sustainability could be enhanced among different players along the Maluti Route.

“…In a similar vein, previous tourism research has investigated how entrepreneurship in tourism and hospitality businesses influence environmental, social, and economic performance (e.g., sales, profitability, satisfaction with performance, sustainability of community, ecotourism, etc. ), often in small and medium enterprise (SME) settings [11,[15][16][17][18]. Despite prior entrepreneurship and the aforementioned sustainability marketing research, a void exists in the tourism literature in understanding the role of entrepreneurship in forming travelers' perceptions of an airline's charitable cause sponsorship.…”

Abstract:Cause sponsorship is one of the most frequently used cause-related marketing (CRM) strategies for extending brand image, often through strategic alliances with nonprofit organizations. Whilst airlines' corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives have received focused attention in the sustainable tourism literature, the effective development of cause sponsorship has not been understood. In particular, an understanding of airlines' cause sponsorship of non-sports related charitable causes and their influence on perceived congruence between the airline and its associated causes are limited. In order to address this gap, the study delves into the intersection of entrepreneurial marketing and sponsorship of environmental and/or social causes. It investigates the structural relationship between entrepreneurial marketing, congruence, favorability toward the airline, and purchase intention by analyzing a sample of 443 travelers on US-based full-service airlines using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The study demonstrates the positive effects of value creation and risk management on congruence, which in turn has a positive influence on travelers' favorability toward the airline. Further, it confirms that favorability toward the airline predicts purchase intention. This study highlights that entrepreneurial marketing efforts to create customer value, and effective management of the associated risks, are indispensable to successful conveyance of congruent airline sponsorship programs.
