“…Furthermore, throughout the entire implementation of the methodology, the principles of good governance must be respected and applied, since they must all be included to a certain degree in order to ensure good governance, and it is not sufficient for just some of them to be present [16,56].…”

“…Hence, the research process was developed in two different stages. The first stage entailed examining the existing literature, focusing on the application of governance and its importance in the sustainable management of tourist destinations among the literature reviewed, this study found, for sustainable tourism, [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] among others; for governance [21,31,33,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62], among others; for good governance [16,31,32,63,64], among others; and for tourism governance [27,35,[65][66][67][68], among others. This review highlighted the need to involve all stakeholders (public and private) when promoting a tourist destination, implying that one element deemed to be essential when it comes to making a destination more sustainable is governance.…”

The scientific literature and reports by international bodies recognise the importance of governance in tourism. This is a process whereby different stakeholders interact in order to solve problems and find opportunities for the different sectors involved. For the purposes of this article, different approaches have been analysed with the aim of understanding the full governance process among stakeholders. In order to validate the main findings, a panel of experts was set up to establish the characteristics a model should have when implementing the principles of good governance as a key tool for managing tourist destinations. This model is aimed at guaranteeing the sustainable development of tourism and enhancing competitiveness. There is a great consensus about how governance must be applied, establishing an open and participatory model which must be transparent and effective, capable of attracting the participation, coordination and collaboration among stakeholders using a clear methodology divided into different stages: diagnosis, planning and strategy, execution and monitoring, and evaluation.

“…A term with force emerges in this last period: "indicators". This term intensifies the publication of research that studies the development of sustainable tourism indicators with the ultimate goal of building tools that help agents involved in the tourism sector to better management and more sustainable management [67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77].…”

Using Bibliometric Methods to Shed Light on the Concept of Sustainable Tourism

The publication of the Brundtland report in 1987 introduced the concept of sustainable development, placing “sustainability” as a unifying idea for all academic disciplines. Consequently, in the tourism sector, sustainable tourism emerged as a new approach to research in the field. Since then, the body of literature on sustainable tourism has only increased, as has the discussion around the conceptual structure of sustainable tourism among academics and professionals. The aim of the study is to complement this theoretical discussion with an inductive approach to the limits of the conceptual structure of sustainable tourism. To do so, we identify the main research topics in the field and their evolution in the past 32 years through bibliometric methods such as evaluative techniques, relational techniques, and visualization of bibliometric data techniques using the VOSviewer program. The results of the study reflect that the sustainable tourism has reached a complexity that is reflected in its current polyhedral content to function as a conceptual umbrella. In addition, it demonstrates that the bibliometric analysis is an adequate and useful methodology for academics and professionals involved in the academic debate around this field of knowledge.

“…Governance is a concept that should be understood as a process involving coordination, collaboration and the cooperation of stakeholders, in order to ensure the multiplier effects from the social and environmental development of tourism in the local economy [9][10][11]. The inherent complexity of tourism also requires that its development be accompanied by efficient planning and management processes that are based on the fundamental principles of sustainability.…”

In this paper, we introduce the themes and approaches that are covered in this special issue on tourism, governance and sustainable development. Firstly, we present a discussion of the themes and topics that have informed the creation of this special issue and, secondly, we provide an overview of the content of each paper that is included within it. This editorial piece provides a useful introduction to the relationship between tourism, governance and sustainable development that can be used by researchers as a starting point for their own research. The special issue itself helps to address the relative lack of research in this area in the context of developing countries and emerging economies.
