Abstract

This study investigates the impact of sustainable tourism practices on tourist behaviours, quality of life, and tourism services through a systematic literature review. Key determinants include environmental awareness and education, government policies and regulations, cultural and community engagement, and tourist demographics. The review highlights the roles of educating tourists, enforcing sustainable practices through policies, and engaging local communities. Additionally, the preferences of younger tourists towards sustainability are explored. Emerging factors such as social media influence, stakeholder collaboration, economic incentives, technological advancements, and the quality of tourism services are also addressed. The potential of social media, the importance of stakeholder collaboration, and the role of economic incentives and technology in advancing sustainable tourism are examined. Despite extensive research, gaps remain in understanding how these factors interact. This study identifies the need for integrated approaches and context-specific research to develop effective strategies for enhancing sustainable tourism practices and improving tourism services, benefiting tourists and host communities.
