Sustainable Tourism Governance: a systems thinking Triple Helix approach

Like any economic sector, the tourism industry encounters growing pressures to achieve a viable balance between economic growth, environmental preservation, and societal welfare. Contemporary strategies for tourism governance frequently place a greater emphasis on economic advancement, thereby overlooking the significance of environmental and social considerations. The objective of this study is to investigate how the governance of sustainable tourism can be supported by systems thinking for overcoming an economy-based view. More specifically, by embracing a systems thinking approach, this study studies how the multiple actors involved in tourism systems can effectively interact to co-create value by integrating economic, social, and environmental dimension of sustainability.
