Extant literature suggests that personal values influence consumers' choice, intention, and preference for sustainable and environment‐friendly products. By adopting a replicative and systematic‐cum‐quantitative approach, this bibliometric review attempts to map the existing literature, which jointly studies personal values and sustainable consumption. Choosing from the bibliometric toolbox, we employed a diverse set of analyses such as performance analysis, co‐authorship analysis, cartographic analysis, thematic mapping, and thematic evolution on a refined dataset comprising 419 peer‐reviewed journal articles from 187 journals. The findings of this synthesis point to six distinct topical clusters to orchestrate and present the intellectual structure, along with identifying top contributors and constituents in the domain. We also map the themes and chart the evolution using the Sankey diagram on Bibliometrix‐R. In addition, a three‐dimensional TMC framework is adopted to outline avenues for future research. Furthermore, we suggest implications for theory and practice and elucidate the limitations.

The development of geotourism and the establishment of geoparks can generate new job opportunities, new economic activities, and additional sources of income, with great significance in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Tourists often consume more energy and water and generate more waste in order to seek a more comfortable state during their travels. This research took Zhangye Danxia National Geopark in the north slope of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau in China as an example and combined field research with questionnaires to construct a non-radial model (SBM) based on energy-water-waste-economic nexus. From the perspective of consumption, this research focuses on the consumer characteristics of geotourism sustainability based on the energy–water–waste–economic nexus (GTS-EWWE) and the driving factors behind them under different degrees of consumption. The elderly, children, and high-income tourists can contribute more to the sustainability of geotourism. Stay duration in the geopark and energy consumption are the native driving factors behind the sustainability of geotourism. However, with the improvement of the tourism consumption level, the marginal effect of the negative influence of both factors is diminishing gradually. While tourism expenditure is a positive driving factor, the tourist’s travel mode and the consumer’s awareness of ecological–environmental actions will contribute more to the sustainability of geotourism. New energy technologies to promote the green development of geoparks is significant. This research aims to provide a reference for the sustainability assessment of geoheritage sights and to provide evidence for the appropriate management policy with respect to their sustainable development.
