“…However, at present, there is still no agreement on the definition of the concept of eco-innovation, and it continues to be shaped [8], implying an initial development stage in this field of research, which is greater still when focusing on the tourism sector, given the lack of studies related to this topic [5,6].…”

“…Therefore, although any type of innovation in business management can translate into a competitive advantage for the agents involved, eco-innovation will not only benefit both the company and the community in which eco-innovation is performed, but also have a three-fold positive effect on the company, the community as a whole, and the environment [4], while creating distinctive personalised competencies that are difficult to imitate, at least in the short term. Thus, a definition of eco-innovation from previous tourism research is "the creation of novel and competitively priced goods, processes, systems, services, and procedures designed to satisfy human needs and provide a better quality of life for everyone with a whole-life-cycle minimal use of natural resources (materials including energy and surface area) per unit output, and a minimal release of toxic substances" [5,6].…”

Abstract:The recent global increase in the competitiveness of tourism has made the implementation of eco-innovations a differentiating element among both the destinations and companies in the sector, with quality management and contribution to sustainable development being increasingly valued. However, the eco-innovations that have been developed and implemented in tourist industries have rarely been studied. In this study, the eco-innovations that have been developed and implemented by 57 tourism businesses worldwide are analysed. The identified eco-innovations are classified by using different qualitative methodologies. The obtained results shed light on the limited development of eco-innovations in the tourism industry and the industry focuses mainly on product eco-innovations. Several examples by the tourist sub-industry and types of eco-innovation are analysed. Furthermore, this study provides practical information about measures that both businesses and governmental organisations can adopt to promote eco-innovation in the sector.

“…After consultation, the Eps determined the optimal criterion CR 1 and the worst criterion CR 11 , and obtained the optimal comparison vector χ 1 = (1, x 1,2 , ..., x 1,22 ) and the worst comparison vector χ 11 = ( x 1,11 , x 2,11 , ..., x 22,11 ) by referring to the language variables in Table 1. According to Equations (7)-(13), the subjective weights of the 22 criteria can be obtained as follows: (14). According to Equation (4), the initial value of five alternatives LSSs was defuzzied and normalized to obtain three sets of evaluation matrices, as shown in Tables 3-5.…”

“…The study of low-carbon tourism was first introduced in Europe and the United States [13]. Since the 1990s, with the emerging energy crisis and environmental pollution [14], several new types of tourism development have emerged, such as green tourism and eco-tourism. The general population is also increasingly focused on the impact of tourism development on the environment [15], especially with regard to carbon emissions, which has also received a good deal of expert attention.…”

With the concept of sustainability gaining popularity, low-carbon tourism has been widely considered. In this paper, a multicriteria group decision making (MCGDM) process based on an uncertain environment is proposed to study the evaluation problem of low-carbon scenic spots (LSSs). In order to minimize the influence of subjective and objective factors, the traditional Vlse Kriterjumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) method is expanded, using the improved best and worst method (IBWM) and Bayes approximation method, based on Dempster-Shafer Theory (B-DST). First, in order to make the evaluation process more professional, a number of evaluation criteria are established as effective systems, followed by the use of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs) to evaluate alternatives of LSSs. Next, according to the evaluation results, the weights of the criteria are determined by the IBWM method, and the weights of the expert panels (Eps) are determined by B-DST. Finally, a weighted averaging algorithm of TIFN is used to integrate the above results to expand the traditional VIKOR and obtain the optimal LSS. The applicability of this method is proven by example calculation. The main conclusions are as follows: tourist facilities and the eco-environment are the two most important factors influencing the choice of LSSs. Meanwhile, the roles of management and participant attitudes in LSS evaluations cannot be ignored.

RESUMENEl presente artículo tiene por objeto mostrar el papel que juega el desarrollo sostenible, poniendo énfasis en el importante rol que juega el mismo en el desarrollo urbano, las empresas y el territorio. En una nueva visión de economía circular, el desarrollo sostenible se convierte en fuente capaz de generar ecoinnovación y modelos productivos basados en la nueva economía "verde". En definitiva, se pretende dar una visión holística del desarrollo sostenible y reflexionar sobre su impacto en la felicidad colectiva de los territorios, tema muy relevante hoy en día, pero donde son escasas las investigaciones que expliquen dichas relaciones con el enfoque adoptado para la elaboración del presente artículo. Palabras claves: ecoinnovación, economía verde, desarrollo sostenible, felicidad colectiva. JEL: O30, Q20, Q50. ABSTRACTThe present article aims to show the role of sustainable development, emphasizing the important role that it plays in companies and the territory. In a new vision of circular economy, sustainable development becomes a source capable of generating eco-innovation and productive models based on the new "green" economy. In short, it aims to give a holistic view of sustainable development and reflect on their impact on the collective happiness of the territories, a very relevant inssue today, but there is not enough research to explain these relationships according to the information consulted for the preparation of this article.
