“…Different types of tourism have different levels of impact on the environment, including its characteristics, vegetation, conservation and ecological balance. For example, ecotourism offers a new opportunity to protect nature reserves, but at the same time, ecotourism development can pose a risk to conservation [12] because of the disturbance caused by an excessive number of tourists, pollution and waste [13]. The pressure of excessive tourism may not only damage the natural environment of cities and towns but may also affect the brand image of the destination, which in many cases is associated with picturesque landscapes and a clean, green natural environment [14].…”

Tourism and landscape are broad and complex scientific research fields, as is the synergy between them has given rise to a volume of articles diverse in nature, subject matter and methodology. These difficulties mean that, at present, there is no complete theoretical framework to support this tourism and landscape research, nor complete knowledge of its structure and organization. This motivates the present work, which constitutes the first attempt at mapping this research topic by applying bibliometric techniques using VOSviewer and Science Mapping Analysis Software Tool (SciMAT) software. A total of 3340 articles from journals indexed in Web of Science were analyzed. The results obtained confirm that interest in the study of these concepts has been growing, especially in the last decade. The main contribution of this work lies in the identification of work themes that were basic to the construction of the field but that are currently in decline, such as “cultural heritage” and other themes important to the field that should continue to be dealt with, such as “national parks” or “geotourism”. The transversal nature of sustainability that appears in the network of keywords related to currently emerging themes, such as “planning” and “environment”, is also highlighted and reinforced.

“…As a result, the aspect measurements were classified from 1 to 8 as follows: 1 (337.6 • -22.5 • ), 2 (22.6 • -67.5 • ), 3 (292.6 • -337.5 • ), 4 (67.6 • -112.5 • ), 5 (247.6 • -292.5 • ), 6 (112.6 • -157.5 • ), 7 (202.6 • -247.5 • ), and 8 (157.6 • -202.5 • ). The greater the value is, the sunnier and drier the area will be (Zhang et al, 2012). Because distantial attenuation is a significant characteristic of the residential environment (Liu et al, 2010b), we selected distance to the nearest resident as a variable of anthropogenic disturbance.…”

“…Over the years, the positive impact of the tourism industry on economic growth, revenues, infrastructure, employment, social-inclusion and poverty reduction has been highlighted by organizations and researchers around the world (UNWTO, 2020a; OECD, 2020a). It is no less true that the tourism sector development is also related to the appearance or deepening of several problems such as: environmental impact (Zhang et al, 2012;Fantinato, 2019) increasing income inequality (Alam & Paramati, 2016), increase of solid waste collection costs (Greco et al, 2018), and others.…”

The positive impact of the tourism industry on economic growth, revenues, infrastructure, employment, social inclusion and poverty reduction, although widely recognised, has been lately weighted against the appearance and exacerbation of several problems, such as: environmental footprint, increase of income inequality, cost increases related to solid waste collection, energy consumption, increased global CO2 emissions. On the other hand, the tourism sector is not just an active economic, societal, or environmental change agent; in turn, the tourism sector supports or is highly influenced by various factors, such as climate change, economic, political, or social factors. More recently, this industry has been highly impacted by the pandemic, technological developments and cultural trends. In this article we examined both the short and long-run relationship between tourism development and economic growth, CO2 emissions and energy consumption in European Union member states (EU27), by using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model for panel data. The findings suggest that economic growth and energy consumption have a statistically significant impact on the tourism index both in the short and long-run, whereas CO2 emissions only have a significant impact upon the tourism index on the long run.
