“…For example, local food with the lens of responsible exploitation of local resources, is conceived as a sustainable marketing tool [74,75]. Also, the role of digital platforms is afforded since they are participatory tools to enhance stakeholder engagement and to co-create new ideas for the destination's sustainable development [76][77][78]. Moreover, the topic of sustainable tourism is also taken into account in specific industries, such as the hospitality one, and scholars have studied how hotels can be "green" [79,80] to pursue environmental conservation and preservation.…”

“…The second marketing implication refers to promotion strategy since the communication is concentrated on the aspects of local authenticity. This, indeed, constitutes one strategic factor of differentiation practices and can contribute to the memorability of a place [89] Within the referring literature, the example of authenticity of culture in its different meanings, handicrafts, dance, music, literature, ceremonies, dress, food [90], authenticity of conventional historical heritage [88], and authenticity of local community [76,77] is highlighted.…”

This study evaluates bibliometric analysis of sustainable tourism in the open innovation realm, depicts emerging themes, and offers critical discussion for theory development and further research. Through the use of bibliometrix, this paper investigates the amount of studies conducted in this area and verifies if such studies have represented a contribution to the evolving research in the field of sustainable tourism. Specifically, the paper identifies whether and to what extent scholars have explored these interconnections and maps to get to a conceptual structure of the field under investigation. The results identify the development status and the leading trends in terms of impact, main journals, papers, topics, authors, and countries. The analysis and the graphical presentations are crucial, as they can help both researchers and practitioners to better understand the state of the art of sustainable tourism in the experiential and digital era.

“…Moreover, responsible tourism resembles green tourism, social tourism, and volunteer tourism (e.g., [21]). Finally, the following tourism policies could be suggested for responsible tourism: protect land or sea areas [22]; improve relationships with social and regulatory stakeholders, effective management of human resources, market standing, operational efficiency, cost savings, and poverty alleviation [23]; and improve working conditions, promote cultural heritage, and involve local communities [24].…”

This paper combines the most popular tourism typologies or goals (i.e., RT, responsible tourism, to represent impact minimisation; ST, sustainable tourism, to represent welfare maximisation; AT, alternative tourism, to represent continuity maximisation) and decision-making methodologies (i.e., MCA, multi-criteria analysis; CBA, cost-benefit analysis; WLCA, weighted life-cycle assessment; MLCA, monetary life-cycle assessment) in a single dynamic framework to operationally match the former with the latter. Normative insights show that MCA and WLCA are most suitable for RT and AT, respectively, whereas CBA and MLCA are most suitable for ST. Management recommendations (i.e., if a wrong static instead of a right dynamic approach must be adopted due to a lack of data, once chosen a tourism typology or goal, ST is the best in terms of level, correlation and likelihood of errors) are provided, and policy recommendations (i.e., if a right dynamic approach is adopted, in choosing among tourism typologies or goals, AT is the best in terms of precaution, ST is the best in terms of correlation, and RT is the best in terms of risk of investments) are suggested for a case study characterized by negative environmental and cultural dynamics. Positive insights show that two and many papers have applied WLCA and MLCA, respectively, to RT, but they did not account for cultural features; many papers have applied CBA to ST, but only one paper applied MLCA; few and no papers have applied MCA and WLCA, respectively, to AT.

“…Tourist experience is unique, emotionally charged, and of high personal value (Mcintosh and Siggs [65]), and there is a positive relationship among travel experience, satisfaction, and behavioural intention to come back and willingness to recommend (Liu et al [16]). It is important for the design to leave the possibility for interactive eWOM communication from the audience to share the previous travel experiences.…”

This paper was developed reviewing literature and presenting frontiers of sustainable tourism destinations and marketing. This paper discusses (1) the process of managing a digital campaign for sustainable tourism destination, with its five steps, i.e., designing the digital campaign, selecting the digital platforms, measuring the performance of digital platforms, evaluating the effectiveness of digital campaign, and making decisions; (2) two models created by authors, i.e. a model of tourist sustainability empathy, and a model of tourist experience integration; (3) two recent issues related to sustainable tourism and its marketing, i.e., Web 3.0 technology and the Marketing 3.0 discipline; and (4) recommendations for future research in the area of sustainable tourism and its marketing. This paper fills the gap between digital campaigns and sustainable tourism, and provides marketers with skills, tools, and marketing methods for sustainable tourism destinations.
