“…There has not yet been a unified standard for the classification of the ecological security of regional urban tourism because of the uneven social-economic development levels in such ecological environments and the inconsistencies in the tourism development policy implementation effects in specific regions. Based on related literature (Bangwayo-Skeete & Skeete, 2020 ; Shadova et al, 2015 ), the ecological security levels of regional urban tourism are divided as in Table 2 .…”

While increased tourist demand has brought economic benefits to tourist destinations, it has also put tremendous pressure on tourism-related ecological environments. Therefore, the relationship between regional urban tourism’s economic benefits and tourism ecologies must be considered by increasing the ecological security levels of regional urban tourism and promoting sustainable tourism development. This paper defines the ecological security of regional urban tourism, constructs an indicator system of said ecological security based on a pressure-state-response social-economic-environment (PSR-SEE) model, uses the entropy method to objectively assign weights to the indicator system, constructs a dynamic multi-scenario simulation model to assess ecological security under continuous, economic priority and various ecological protection scenarios, employs ArcGIS software to analyze the spatial distribution patterns of the ecological security of regional urban tourism, and uses a standard deviation ellipse method to analyze the space–time evolutionary track of the ecological security of regional urban tourism. The index system is applied to 16 cities in Hubei Province to measure the ecological security levels and test the viability of the system. The present research focuses on the space–time evolution of the ecological security of regional urban tourism, addresses the contradictions between socioeconomic development and the ecological security of regional urban tourism, provides an important reference for tourism destination planning, and can assist in improving the levels of the ecological security of regional urban tourism to promote sustainable tourism development.

“…The resilience matter has been explored in a range of anthropogenic contexts, including recent applications in tourism [30], capturing increasing attention of academics and decision makers from various disciplines and sectors [34,35]. Analyzing the potential development of the tourism industry, it is necessary to consider the emergence of negative events and situations associated with climate change, crisis, political, social, and legal changes, and cultural circumstances [36][37][38].…”

Destination Resilience and Innovation for Advanced Sustainable Tourism Management: A Bibliometric Analysis

et al. 2021

Over the years, literature on the topic of destination resilience has gained increasing attention in different fields (strategic management; sociology; etc.). Therefore, the potentiality of resilience in the tourism field has stimulated the definition and the implementation of strategies, policies, and activities addressed to mitigate risks and seize opportunities through open innovation attitudes in times of crisis. This work aims to contribute to the debate on tourist destination resilience by proposing a conceptual framework of destination resilience and open innovation based on a bibliometric analysis. Moreover, this article is intended as a starting point for a wider discussion of factors that contribute to destination resilience and therefore provides the basis to develop a toolkit of matrixes and approaches. Findings reveal that resilience assessment, as well as in terms of performance, remain undiscovered. Moreover, the present research poses some unresolved questions, shaping interesting future research directions.

“…A bridge is needed to bring about the methodological approaches that can study a bounded system of an island using the life cycle concept. Papers in this Special Issue illustrate in particular the evolution of activities to build resilient tourism destinations (Bangwayo-Skeete & Skeete, 2020;Cirer-Costa, 2020).…”
