“…Sustainability is understood as a method of human decision-making that aims to protect and improve natural capital while also generating general gains in human, social, cultural, and political capital that underpins human flourishing (Moscardo & Hughes, 2023;Shoeb-Ur-Rahman et al, 2020;Schaubroeck & Rugani, 2017). Sustainability necessitates thinking about how to reduce or eliminate the harmful effects of actions on the environment and nearby communities.…”

This paper adopts a systematic review approach to explore heritage interpretation as a catalyst for sustainable ecotourism in protected areas. Premised on the importance of protected areas as a strategy for the conservation of the natural environment, the study seeks to unpack the nature, breadth and trends that predominate contemporary scholarly discourse on the concept of heritage interpretation in protected areas. Based on an in-depth exploration of notable scientific databases (Sabinet, Scopus, Emerald, ProQuest, Taylor & Francis Online, and journals’ websites) 129 scholarly publications were extracted and screened, with 57 publications meeting the ‘relevance’ criteria. The data analysis followed a characterisation, content analysis and thematic extraction. Key outcomes highlighted most of the studies emanating from the Global North, with themes reflecting the role of interpretation in protected areas, interpretation planning, management and evaluation, environmental interpretation, cultural interpretation, the influence of interpretation on visitors’ perceptions, behaviour and satisfaction, interpretation preferences, interpreters’ experiences, creativity in heritage interpretation and heritage interpretation for sustainable development. Based on the geographical classification data, suggestions are proffered for future research pathways.

“…Consequently, the role of sustainable tourism has become increasingly important. Sustainable tourism has undergone conceptual refinement in its implementation from the Brundtland Report by the World Commission on Environment and Development (1987), the Triple Bottom Line concept by Elkington (1994;1997), the elaboration of its goals by United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, 2013), and its integration to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (Shoeb-Ur-Rahman et al, 2020). The number of publications on sustainable tourism topics has also vastly…”

Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) is increasingly being utilized as an analytical research tool for sectors that require decision-making with specific objectives and constraints, such as the tourism industry. Sustainable tourism, which examines the balance of numerous aspects, including stakeholders’ interests, is the critical feature propelling the increased usage of MCDM. This paper explores the use of Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods applied in studies of sustainable tourism and its derivative term, low-carbon tourism, using a systematic literature review (SLR) search from the Scopus database. The analysis has identified 189 relevant studies published between 1987 to April 2022. After selection, screening, and synthesizing processes, we selected 135 pertinent studies, which were analysed in general descriptive data, citation impacts, geographical categorization, categorization of the methodologies’ objectives, and possible trajectories of similar research in the future. We find that highly cited authors and articles are related to sustainable tourism indicators' development and case studies. Furthermore, most relevant studies are concentrated in Asia and Europe rather than other regions. We also categorize the reviewed studies into six classifications depending on each method's intended usage and further suggest four contexts for the studies’ future trajectory.

“…This paper defines sustainability according to contemporary views that link sustainability to wellbeing (Schaubroeck & Rugani, 2017; Shoeb-Ur-Rahman et al, 2020). Thus, sustainability is seen as an approach to human decision-making that seeks to preserve and enhance natural capital as well as make overall positive contributions to the human, social, cultural and political capital that support human wellbeing.…”

Rethinking Interpretation to Support Sustainable Tourist Experiences in Protected Natural Areas

Interpretation in protected natural areas can minimize visitors’ negative environmental impacts and encourage them to adopt sustainable practices at and beyond tourist sites. Despite this, interpretation has typically focussed on showcasing the specific features of natural areas rather than using these features as a resource for sustainability education more broadly. We argue that designing effective interpretation for complex issues such as sustainability is challenging and that new approaches may be needed. This paper reports on a front-end evaluation study that used online archival analysis and participant observation to assess the viability of an interpretive approach that requires no additional site hardening, is widely accessible, and focuses on fungi as a topic that can be easily connected to sustainability action beyond the site. Guidelines for developing effective interpretation in natural areas and practical implications of using this approach to link local places to global sustainability are also discussed.
