20.500.12556/RUL-176389 Tourism policymaking in troubling times sustainability-driven challenges, implemented policies, and goals for sustainable development Tourism’s vulnerability to crises underscores the need for new or adapted tourism policies that prioritize sustainable tourism development across ecological, economic, and stakeholder dimensions. While past research has highlighted the relevance of sustainable policies for tourism crisis recovery, the research gap lies in the actual implementation of these policies in response to crises. This study examines tourism policymaking in Europe by conducting a quantitative study with 181 tourism organizations responsible for sustainable tourism and its policy implementation. Exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were employed to reveal how tourism policymakers perceive challenges, the subsequent impact on implemented policies, and the intended sustainability-driven goals. Specifically, policies addressing environmental, technological, promotional, and personnel challenges have been enacted due to the climate change crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and financial recessions. These policies not only aim to pursue economic recovery but also contribute to the sustainable development of tourism, engaging key stakeholders and aligning with broader sustainability goals such as climate action and governance. This study addresses the underdeveloped area of sustainomics by contributing to the discourse on political implementation for sustainable development, providing a critical exploration of how tourism governance can enhance sustainability practices in crisis contexts. resilience tourism policy implementation sustainable tourism policy sustainability implementation destination management organizations tourism governance stakeholder engagement turizem resilience trajnostni razvoj true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-11-28 15:50:40 2025-11-28 15:52:31 2026-02-27 13:46:22 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 13 str. iss. 23, article no. 10599 Vol. 16 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 338.48 2071-1050 10.3390/su162310599 218321923 sustainability-16-10599.pdf sustainability-16-10599.pdf 1 7A84CC228E47944A5C5EAA30DC13A5EE 2b70a123f1e30dbc2ca3b90712923bc6cb0e3c3c232db9af1bbc1c7545ac24be 6818858b-cc69-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=222714 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/16/23/10599 0 6e5ddd1a-cc69-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=222715 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
