Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tourism, as one of the most significant drivers for economic growth and cultural proliferation, affects the wellbeing of the tourist, the quality of life of the host community, and the health of the natural environment. Due to the advances in information and transportation technologies, tourists have gained ample opportunities to travel to new destinations, which have not yet been accessed and are fragile towards a mass influx of tourists. It is advantageous to evaluate these contemporary issues from the perspective of sustainability, as this stream is still in an embryonic stage in the field of hospitality and tourism. Thus, this Special Issue on “Sustainability in Hospitality and Tourism” in Sustainability aims to probe these critical issues of sustainability within the hospitality and tourism discipline and strives to forge a scholarly forum of discourse while constructing a timely and robust literature source, augmenting the research and practice in the field of tourism and hospitality. This issue caters to academia, industry professionals, and public readers seeking innovative ideas/models that are derived from empirical studies and conceptual frameworks enlisting both qualitative and quantitative inquiry in the area of hospitality and tourism, in compliance with current standards of scholarly manuscripts.
