Abstract
This study explores the nexus between urban green space (UGS) and sustainable tourism (ST) and its potential for achieving a green economy. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach was applied to reveal the most relevant documents. This study has identified the 35 most relevant documents from the Scopus database. This study reveals a strong nexus between UGS and ST and a strong linkage between various components of UGS and ST. UGS provides several benefits (economic, social, and environmental benefits) in tourism. UGS also promotes tourism in various aspects like environmental, social, and economic aspects. We argue that tourism has become one of the world's most rapidly rising economic industries that promotes a green economy based on UGS with sustainability. The potential challenges of achieving ST and a green economy are lack of proper planning, GHG emissions, maintaining cultural heritage, and poor information systems and communication.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Tourism Research promotes and enhances research developments in the field of tourism. The journal provides an international platform for debate and dissemination of research findings whilst also facilitating the discussion of new research areas and techniques. IJTR continues to add a vibrant and exciting channel for those interested in tourism and hospitality research developments. The scope of the journal is international and welcomes research that makes original contributions to theories and methodologies. It continues to publish high quality research papers in any area of tourism, including empirical papers on tourism issues. The journal welcomes submissions based upon both primary research and reviews including papers in areas that may not directly be tourism based but concern a topic that is of interest to researchers in the field of tourism, such as economics, marketing, sociology and statistics. All papers are subject to strict double-blind (or triple-blind) peer review by the international research community.
