Peace is the state of calmness attained when human beings of diverse culture, perceptions, and beliefs understand and respect the diversity of other humans in their surroundings. The understanding and respect are gathered through travel to places, observing and appreciating the culture, living style of the natives. It has been discussed in many tourism summits, conferences, forums, and symposiums about the contribution of tourism towards peacebuilding in the world. Many scholars have also investigated the impact of tourism on creating and maintaining peace in selected conflicted areas. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the significance of tourism in sustainable peacebuilding across the globe through a systematic literature review approach to accomplish the objectives of the study. It presents the concept of peace tourism, the Global Peace Index's domain of militarisation, safety and security in society, national-international conflicts, global leaders, analysis of some countries in tourism development, and sustainability through peace tourism.
