“…Digital transformation can contribute by guiding guest flows via digital tools to avoid crowding. Targeted collaboration through digital transformation corresponds to a broad stakeholder perspective and long-term focus on the economic pillar of sustainable tourism (van Gils and Weigand, 2020). Interviewees perceive economic sustainability as resource optimisation enabled through a small-scale regional structure.…”

“…Furthermore, programmes that develop digital knowledge in tourism and hospitality firms (Morellato, 2014) support sustainable tourism development. The tourism industry requires a digital transformation process to satisfy changing demands (Lam and Law, 2019) and exploit sustainable development agendas (van Gils and Weigand, 2020). ElMassah and Mohieldin (2020) demonstrate that digital transformation can boost sustainable development strategies.…”

“…Thus, we intend to study the mechanisms of organisational learning contributing to sustainable tourism, facilitation of digital transformation by organisational learning and the resulting enhancement of sustainable tourism concepts and actions. This study proposes that digital transformation in organisations can contribute to sustainable tourism development (Bican and Brem, 2020;van Gils and Weigand, 2020), initiated by organisational learning. To investigate the phenomenon of organisational learning and its contribution to sustainable tourism (Schianetz et al, 2007;Tremblay, 2000;Halme, 2001), we aim to answer the following research question: RQ.…”

“…So far, only a few studies have established a link between digital transformation and sustainable tourism, arguing either that digitalisation and sustainability cannot be developed harmoniously (O'Neill et al, 2018) or that digital technologies can aid sustainable development (Bican and Brem, 2020;van Gils and Weigand, 2020). However, there are still no integrative studies exploring how digital transformation can contribute to sustainable tourism.…”

Purpose Organisational learning drives tourism organisations towards more sustainable tourism. Digital transformation also provides opportunities for sustainable tourism development. This study aims to combine these perspectives and explore how digital transformation enables organisational learning to contribute to sustainable tourism, following organisational learning theory (OLT). Design/methodology/approach Based on a critical realist paradigm, this study focuses on developing an in-depth understanding of organisational learning in tourism organisations. Thirty qualitative interviews with tourism organisations participating in an executive development programme (EDP) show how tourism organisations create, retain and transfer knowledge. Findings This study demonstrates that the EDP initiates knowledge creation through content transmission and exchange, triggers knowledge retention through utilisation of digital technologies and reinforces digitalisation through data value creation. Furthermore, this study enables knowledge transformation as implementation, which contributes to the three pillars of sustainable tourism and facilitates the development of networks encouraging sustainable tourism. Originality/value This study identifies approaches that enable economic, social and environmentally sustainable tourism development by facilitating collaborations via digital transformation, digital technologies that guide guest streams, online mobility offers and online environmental awareness campaigns that reduce environmental impacts. Thus, this study strengthens OLT and has implications for organisational learning and tourism policymakers.

“…Besides the academic contribution, the research outcomes in Green IT/IS are also essential from the managerial implications point of view. Namely, Green IT/IS that are oriented to minimize the negative environmental impact is one of the key enablers of sustainable digital transformation in any contemporary organization (Gils et al, 2020).…”

Background: In recent years, the concepts of Green Information Technology and Green Information Systems (Green IT/IS) have attracted the attention of many researchers. Several environmental and sustainability studies have suggested that smart usage of Green IT/IS is one of the most important enablers for sustainable development in organizations and plays an essential role in greening the planet. Objectives: This paper aims to examine the development of the Green IT/IS field based on the published works. The focus is on analysing the keywords of related papers obtained from the Web of Science database. Methods/Approach: Based on the two-mode network of papers and keywords, the analysis of co-occurrence of keywords is provided. The most frequent keywords discovered by the temporal network analysis are presented from the perspective of the most prominent journals. Results: The main pillars of knowledge in Green IT/IS research are highlighted, and a chronological map of the field is provided. Conclusions: Green IT/IS’s studied field shows constant growth in the last decades, and the results indicate the trends of future development in the field. The paper is one of the first studies that apply the bibliographic network analysis approach to the field of Green IT/IS.
