Demystifying The Nature of Tourism Through Social Sustainability Lens: A Literature Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
The specific goal of this research is to provide a contribution to the social sustainability aspect of tourism, which has received little attention in discussions about sustainability. Regarding the evaluation, interpretation, and conceptualization of social sustainability in the context of tourism, there is no universal agreement. Furthermore, this study aims to comprehend the ways in which social sustainability has been conceived and implemented within the framework of sustainable tourism. The paper looks at how the scant research on social sustainability has underemphasized the significance of social sustainability in tourism and concentrated on socio-cultural components. It also demonstrates how the literature on social sustainability is more dispersed, since various academic disciplines have attempted to understand the notion in different ways, resulting in a variety of conceptualizations of social sustainability.
