Abstract
ABSTRACT This review highlights the status of tourism sustainability and regional development studies. A search of two major databases (Web of Science and Scopus) was conducted to determine relevant articles. The research for this study was carried out from 2013 to 2023. Forty-eight articles were identified and based on the content analysis of research articles, a few significant themes were identified from the earlier literature: sustainable tourism development in fragile areas; tourism and new economic geography; tourism sustainability indicators; the impact of specialty tourism on regional development; spatial sustainability of tourism; the impact of sustainable tourism on economic development, and environment competitiveness and tourism growth. This study contributes to the existing knowledge from the socio-economics perspective by investigating these themes in detail. Hence, the main results of the present study emphasize the relationship between sustainable tourism and regional development as concepts that should operate together in a strong association.
