Sustainable Development Strategies in Tourism

Dear Colleagues,

The structures of various industries are rapidly changing due to the spread of COVID-19, climate change caused by carbon emissions, and the development of digital technology. In response to these changes, it is time for the tourism industry to consider various factors. Thus, this Special Issue aims to discuss the directions and strategies in the tourism industry to cope with the changing environments. Related issues include ‘green tourism’, ‘inclusive tourism’, ‘digitalization of tourism’ and so on. First, the efforts and effects of green tourism will be considered. This sub-topic includes climate change, which can be addressed in terms of tourism strategies or actions in response to it. Second, inclusive tourism covers topics on the role of tourism as a strategic means for the inclusive growth of society. This sub-topic also includes topics related to the expansion of the ‘tourism rights’ of the underprivileged. Lastly, the digitalization of tourism relates to tourism activities and strategies using digital technology. This includes topics that can increase the utility of tourists through the use of ICT technology. In addition to these topics, studies that consider the ways tourism can develop to the needs of the futu re would be a suitable for this Special Issue.
