“…The first step seeking sustainability in tourism business is the identification of problems. One of the most painful problems in tourism are: non‐traditional kinds of tourism, sorting of waste and seasoning (Murava & Korobeinykova, 2016). Having identified problems – it is necessary to prepare a plan of the key measures and a strategy.…”

“…These effects manifests through other social factors, such as resident employment and unemployment, psychological climate, availability of social service in tourist destinations etc. Currently, in the tourism sector, it is particularly underlying to ensure socially responsible tourism or sustainable tourism in order to sort waste, preserve natural resources and other issues of ethical tourism (Andereck & Nyaupane, 2011; Andereck, Valentine, Knopf, & Vogt, 2005; Andereck, Valentine, Vogt, & Knopf, 2007; Luekveerawattana, 2018; Morgan et al, 2015; Murava & Korobeinykova, 2016).…”

Tourism is one of most perspective and dynamic businesses in the world. It is of great significance to plan and develop tourism purposefully and sustainably though the search for compromises between environmental, economic and social aims of society. The sustainable tourism development management has to retain high satisfaction degree of tourists' needs, assure significant experience for consumers, increasing their consciousness under issues of sustainability, and propagating practices of sustainable tourism among them. The significance of sustainable tourism sector development ambition is analysed in this paper through the lens of strengthening its competitiveness. The paper analyses scientific literature and seeks to discover the main forms and factors for the strengthening of the tourism competitiveness by implementing economic, social and environmental targets of tourism destination territories development. The broad systematic literature review provided for some interesting findings: The business participants are interested in the implementation of new technologies in tourism services having positive impact on environment and local communities; however, a lot of challenges exist how to change environment, increase of consumers' motivations for sustainable tourism services and to change their behaviour towards more sustainable one. The current Covid 19 outbreak and high risks of future pandemics have risen new challenges for sustainable tourism development. In this paper the main sustainable tourist development challenges are addressed and new insights for the strengthening of competitiveness of sustainable tourism destination are provided. The future research guidelines are set based on analysis performed. Highlights The systematic review of literature on sustainable tourism The trade‐off between sustainability and competitiveness The main challenges of sustainable tourist development New insights for the strengthening of competitiveness of sustainable tourism The future research guidelines are set based on analysis performed

“…As a first step, and to further identify more drivers, a review of 50 relevant papers, reports, and doctoral theses on SWM in tourism was undertaken [27][28][29][30]32,[34][35][36][37][38][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54]. The literature review acted as a base to learn from other researchers, best practices, and international studies to better prepare all the possible items contained in the paper and questionnaires (see the questionnaires directed to hotels and municipalities in the Supplementary Materials).…”

“…The rapid development of the tourism industry has a direct impact on the increase in the amount of solid waste (SW) in tourism areas [1,2] and has a negative impact on the environment [3], namely in the form of higher operational costs [4], blight owing to litter and contaminated water, and a reduction in the touristic value of otherwise attractive locations [5]. This has increased pressure on public authorities to develop accurate municipal solid waste management (MSWM) policies and systems to deal with the impacts on services related to solid waste (SW) generation in tourism destinations [6][7][8].…”

Solid Waste Management Key Indicator Development for Hotels: A Tunisian Case Study Analysis

2018

The main objective of this research was to provide suitable technical, organizational, financial, legal, and social indicators for solid waste management (SWM) systems, which can be used to diagnose the current situation faced by tourist destinations (TD) in Tunisia. To this end, 33 interviews and field visits to hotels in Tunisia were carried out. Specifically, the study covers tourist municipalities, private companies, and environment and tourism authorities. A characterization analysis and a quantification of the solid waste (SW) generated by hotels were also performed. It was found that hotels generate large amounts of mixed SW, especially during the summer period. It represents, for example, 45.5% of the total SW generated per year in Hammamet, and can reach 54.2% during the summer. The interviews indicated that 83% of the hotels collect mixed waste, which is then sent to landfills. The characterization of the SW shows that hotels generate about 58% organic waste, and a minimum of 36% of recyclable waste could be valorized. From a financial point of view, the results indicated that the collected taxes from hotels do not cover the municipalities' expenses. The findings of the research reported in this paper can be used as a decision-making support.Recycling 2018, 3, 56 2 of 19 season ' [17]. This is also the case in Langkawi Island in Malaysia, where tourists generate double the amount of SW per capita compared to local residents [18].Good waste management in hotels could be among the solutions to improve the sector. In fact, around 30% of a hotel's SW can be sorted, reused, recycled, or recovered [19]. For example, as reported by Bohdanowicz [20], 80% of hotels in Sweden and 30.6% of hotels in Poland have active waste sorting and recycling programs. On the other hand, the composition of the waste generated depends on the tourist area. For example, in Hoi An in Vietnam, the waste composition of hotels was 58.5% for biodegradable waste, 25.8% for recyclables, and 15.7% for other [21]. Another study in Djerba showed that the organic fraction in one of the hotels represented more than 71% [22]. Contrariwise, the composition in the UK was 37% for food waste, 50% for recyclables, and 13% for other [23]. This difference influences the way of managing and treating waste generated between different countries.SWM in tourism destinations in developing countries still represents a big problem. For example, Ghadban et al. [24] presented the SWM crisis in Lebanon in 2015, in which hotels were the main producer of SW. Furthermore, Djerba Island in Tunisia, where hotels generate 45% of the total waste (according to the Ministry of Local Affairs and the Environment), has been experiencing a major waste management crisis since 2012 [25]. The increase in the quantities of waste necessarily causes the increase of the costs of the collection. Malaysia, for example, spends 75% of municipal budgets for waste collection [26].In Tunisia, tourism is an industry which has seen continuous development and will reach 8 million tourists b...

“…dry recyclables vs. organic waste. In addition, information was currently unavailable on the percentage of waste recycled per tourist (D.3.3) and this area requires further investigation Murava and Korobeinykova (2016). noted how the problem of sustainable waste management is becoming increasingly relevant in many tourist destinations.…”

Purpose Despite indicators being regarded as ideal tools to help achieve sustainability in tourism, their application within Ireland remains under researched. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to advance the knowledge base in the hospitality and tourism field by presenting baseline research from the first application of all 43 of the indicators that make up the European tourism indicator system (ETIS) in county Clare, Ireland. Design/methodology/approach This study used the pre-existing visitor, enterprise and resident surveys that accompany the ETIS indicator system in a number of honey pot destinations within county Clare. This approach was complemented further through desk research to gather the necessary data on all 43 core indicators of the ETIS. Findings While the application of the ETIS in county Clare constitutes a significant advancement towards evidence informed planning for tourism. There does exist a number of information gaps relating to specific core indicators of the ETIS. Which, if not monitored and benchmarked over time, could have serious ramifications for the future sustainability of tourism in Ireland. Originality/value This paper not only discuss the findings from the application of all 43 core indicators of the ETIS in one specific destination but also develops new knowledge on the use of tourism indicators and the move towards evidence informed planning for tourism. Furthermore, this study contributes significantly to the theoretical development of our field, as the ETIS has not been applied in its entirety throughout Europe.
