Abstract
This article examines the current state of knowledge and gaps in existing research regarding the uses of tourism resources for regional children and young people's educational attainment and community development. Using a systematic literature review methodology, 21 English-language empirical research articles published between 2012 and 2021 were selected. The study points to areas for future research on tourism development and management to support educational attainment of local children and young people and subsequent community development activities in regional destinations. Specifically, this review's conceptual and theoretical values refer to reframing the tourism industry and community relationship as interdependent and mutually supportive, which can situate the industry's goals within community development perspectives. This entails prioritising community stakeholders' involvement in tourism development activities. For instance, measuring tourism's contributions to a regional community's educational attainment should reflect local young people and children's preferences for learning opportunities.
