ClearThe Tourism Industry Orienteering Towards the Achievement of SDGs at the Country Level
This study examined how the global tourism industry contributes to or hinders progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The results show that tourism's rapid growth creates environmental pressures that challenge SDG targets for sustainable consumption and production.
The Nexus between Tourism Activities and Environmental Degradation: Romanian Tourists’ Opinions
Researchers used structural equation modeling to analyze Romanian tourists' perceptions of the environmental impacts of tourism activities, finding significant relationships between tourist circulation, accommodation, entertainment, and environmental degradation including waste generation, water pollution, and biodiversity loss.
Research trajectory on tourism policy: a bibliometric overview
Researchers conducted a bibliometric overview of the research trajectory on tourism policy using the Scopus database from 1976 onward, mapping the intellectual structure, growth trends, and geographic distribution of scholarship in the field. The analysis identified key themes, prolific authors, and evolving research priorities across nearly five decades of tourism policy literature.
Spatiotemporal Evolution Characteristics and Obstacle Factors of the Coordinated Development between the Tourism Industry and Ecological Security
Researchers constructed an evaluation index system to measure the coordinated development between the tourism industry and ecological security in Zhejiang Province, China, analysing spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and identifying key obstacle factors. Findings revealed that tourism expansion initially exerts a coercive pressure on ecological security, with significant spatial heterogeneity shaped by population density and economic activity.
A holistic approach for tourism carrying capacity estimation in sensitive ecological areas
Researchers developed a holistic framework for estimating tourism carrying capacity in the sensitive coastal ecosystem of Balos Lagoon, a Natura 2000 site in Western Crete. The study combined environmental quality indicators with visitor impact assessments to support sustainable tourism planning in Mediterranean ecosystems facing pressures from pollution and biodiversity loss.
Water pollution generated by tourism: Review of system dynamics models
This systematic review used system dynamics modeling to analyze how tourism contributes to water pollution, particularly from plastics. The study developed a framework connecting economic and environmental factors driving tourism-related contamination of water ecosystems. The findings emphasize that integrated strategies combining environmental education, sustainable management practices, and proactive policy planning are essential for reducing tourism-induced water pollution.
An Optimization Analysis Model of Tourism Specialized Villages Based on Neural Network and System Dynamics
A tourism optimization model for rural villages was developed combining neural network forecasting with system dynamics simulation to better predict visitor demand and guide resource allocation. The model improved prediction accuracy over traditional methods. Better planning tools can help tourism villages manage visitor flow sustainably without exceeding environmental carrying capacity.
Necessity to Assess the Sustainability of Sensitive Ecosystems: A Comprehensive Review of Tourism Pressures and the Travel Cost Method
This paper is not about microplastics; it reviews the travel cost method as an economic tool for valuing sensitive aquatic ecosystems, with a focus on sustainable tourism management.
Study on the coupling coordination effect and dynamic relationship between tourism development and the ecological environment: a case study of Hainan Island
This study examined the coupling relationship between tourism development and ecological environment protection on Hainan Island, China, which has national strategic significance as a Free Trade Port. The research found that coordinating the two subsystems is critical for sustainable high-quality development on the island.
An Integrated Model to Prospectively Assess the Environmental Impact of Tourism: Empirical Application to the Earth’s Third Pole National Park
Researchers developed an integrated model combining the Relative Risk Model with the Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix to prospectively assess environmental impacts from tourism activities, applying it to a national park at the 'Earth's Third Pole.' The model enables early-stage prediction and comparison of environmental impact contributions along the formation pathway.
Tackling Water and Waste Management Challenges Within the Tourism and Hospitality Industry: A Sustainable Development Goals Perspective
This paper reviewed water and waste management challenges specific to tourism and hospitality industries, examining how hotels, resorts, and tourism infrastructure generate and mismanage water and solid waste. It proposed strategies for sustainable waste management within these high-impact sectors.
Interdependence in Coastal Tourist Territories between Marine Litter and Immediate Tourist Zoning Density: Methodological Approach for Urban Sustainable Development
This study analyzed the relationship between coastal tourism development intensity and the amount of marine litter found on beaches in Tenerife, Canary Islands. While it touches on marine debris broadly, its primary focus is on land-use planning and tourism zoning rather than microplastic pollution specifically. The connection to microplastics is indirect, as marine litter is a precursor to microplastic generation through degradation.
International Marine Tourism
Not relevant to microplastics — this bibliometric analysis examines trends in international marine tourism research in the context of sustainable development, with no substantive focus on plastic or microplastic pollution.
Influencing factors and mechanism of tourists’ pro-environmental behavior – Empirical analysis of the CAC-MOA integration model
Using a stimulus-organism-response framework, this study modeled the factors and mechanisms driving tourists' pro-environmental behaviors at destinations, integrating cognitive-affective-conative theory and motivation theory to identify key psychological and contextual predictors. The findings inform destination management strategies aimed at encouraging environmentally responsible tourism behavior.
Challenges in Implementing Sustainable Marine Tourism Policy against the Threat of Waste in Coastal Areas
Researchers investigated the challenges of implementing sustainable marine tourism policies against plastic waste pollution at coastal sites in Indonesia, including Kuta Beach, Bali, finding that government policy alone is insufficient and that community participation is essential for effective waste management.
Assessing the Environmental Impact of Plastic Pollution in Tourism: A Bibliometric Analysis
This review used bibliometric analysis to map research trends on the environmental impact of plastic pollution in tourism-dependent regions, identifying leading academic disciplines, influential authors, and key themes in the literature.
Resilience And Sustainability in Tourism-Forestry Systems Through Risk Management Framework: Review and Concept
Not relevant to microplastics — this paper proposes a risk management framework for tourism-forestry systems in Malaysia, focused on resilience and sustainability in forest tourism.
Marine Tourism Suitability Index in the Padang Beach Tourism Area, West Sumatra
Researchers assessed the suitability of beach tourism conditions at Padang Beach, West Sumatra, to support sustainable marine tourism practices. The study highlights how increased tourist activity can contribute to anthropogenic pollution, including plastic waste, in coastal environments.
