Abstract
ABSTRACT This review examines sustainable rural tourism's impact on economic, social, and environmental development pillars. The study analysed 250 high-ranking journals across disciplines such as economics, business, anthropology, sociology, and ecology, apart from tourism journals, from 2019 to February 2023. Few contributions were found in economics and sociology journals, while anthropology and ecology had more. A cross-disciplinary theoretical framework was proposed based on the reviewed articles. It includes value propositions, local context, goals, managerial actions, supporting activities, and desired outcomes of sustainable rural tourism from non-tourism perspectives. It was found that the essential roles of pluriactivity as a concept that departs from social anthropology in explaining rural tourism, the importance of delineating tourism goals on the three pillars based on time dimensions, and the use of power parity as the ultimate goal for rural tourism development.
