“…Lane (2009) described sustainable tourism as a balanced triangular relationship between -people, host areas and their habitats, and the tourism industry,‖ in which no stakeholders upset the equilibrium. It has also been frequently explained in terms of economic and environmental dimensions (Hunter, 1995;Coccossis, 1996;Swarbrooke, 1999;Baros and David, 2007), although according to Mihalic (2014), economic performance is the highest priority and environmental the lowest in sustainable tourism (Bohdanowicz et al, 2005;Blackstock et al, 2008;Bramwell et al, 2008;Mihalic et al, 2012). Academia thus considers sustainable tourism more a plan or concept.…”

Responsible tourism (RT) has emerged as a significant means of implementing a procommunity, pro-poor, and sustainable program. As the term is relatively new, it is attracting considerable attention worldwide. However, it is often confused with sustainable tourism (ST) due to sharing similar underlying principles. This article thus endeavors to analyze the theoretical basis of both concepts by examining community perceptions in tourist destinations. A structured survey questionnaire was first administered among 387 residents from four tourist destinations in the Indian state of Kerala. Following the data analysis, it was observed that responsible tourism is significantly linked to sustainable tourism. Furthermore, the former fulfills the objectives of the latter in such a way that rather being different from sustainable tourism, it is a limited version of it. Whereas sustainable tourism is more a theoretical concept, responsible tourism is an action component with more practical implications. Consequently, the findings provide insights for academicians and policymakers into defining and implementing both concepts at various levels. Contribution/Originality: This study offers two contributions to existing discussions on responsible and sustainable tourism: (1) it is unique in its attempt to validate both concepts through community perceptions; (2) it is one of only a few studies to investigate the relationship between the two concepts, which share similar attributes. 1. INTRODUCTION Tourism is connected to sustainability concepts such as pro-poor tourism (Michot, 2010), community tourism

“…Literatur yang ada mengenai pariwisata bertanggung jawab mengungkapkan berbagai pemahaman yang bervariasi berdasarkan subjeknya apakah konsep, teori, atau praktik (Leslie, 2012); melibatkan berbagai pemangku kepentingan dan tujuan yang berbeda; atau menciptakan pariwisata yang lebih ramah lingkungan atau tempat yang lebih baik untuk ditinggali dan dikunjungi (RTP, 2002). Lebih lanjut, literatur yang ada berfokus pada konsumsi atau produksi yang bertanggung jawab (Budeanu, 2005;Stanford, 2008), mengeksplorasi hubungan antara wisatawan dan masyarakat lokal, dan mempertanyakan tanggung jawab individu melawan tanggung jawab sosial serta asumsi politik dan model tata kelola dibalik pertanggungjawaban (Bramwell et al, 2008;Hall, 2012) Pariwisata bertanggung jawab mengajak individu-individu, organisasi, pemerintah, dan industri untuk mengambil tanggung jawab dalam setiap aksi yang mereka lakukan, dan dampak dari aksi mereka. Setiap yang terlibat harus bertanggung jawab dalam menciptakan keberlanjutan.…”

“…In addition to minimizing negative social, economic and environmental impact which sustainable tourism advocates for, responsible tourism emphasises generating greater social and economic benefits for host communities (Frey & George, 2010;Goodwin & Francis, 2003). Responsible tourism resonates often when ethical and moral responsibilities of the tourism sector are raised in question (Bramwell et al, 2008;Goodwin, 2011;Blackstock et al, 2008). Harold Goodwin (2011) contends that responsible tourism is more feasible and thus pivotal to making tourism more sustainable: "the idea of responsible tourism has at its core the imperative to take responsibility, to take action; consumers, suppliers, and governments all have responsibilities.…”

The magnitude in which global crises and the ongoing societal challenges affects our life has called for attentions to be more socially responsible, environmentally friendly and caring for the wider community. A lot has been said recently about tourism restart or recovery as a consequence of COVID-19, highlighting the need for greater pragmatism and responsibility in the midst of turbulence, further emphasising the relevance for responsible tourism practice and scholarship. The present editorial serves as a foundation that provides an overview of the development of responsible tourism, offering a synthesis of key literature and sources regarding responsible tourism that can help guide future investigations. A bibliometric analysis of responsible tourism was conducted in Web of Science (WOS) database and subsequently 94 articles were used in the final review. While the results show the relevance of sustainable practices, behavioural factors and value creation by multiple stakeholders, they underscore the need for more and better efforts to delve into and realise responsible tourism in the contemporary environment.
