About this Special Issue
Tourism experts point out that tourism is the fastest growing industry in the world. The last decade of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century introduced the tourist industry into the leading trends of economic growth in the world. However, tourism faces many challenges that affect its development. We are witnessing turbulent changes on a global level that have a significant impact on the diversification of tourism. Since tourism has a great responsibility for the further development of the economic, social, cultural and natural environment, these are issues of responsible and sustainable development in the first place. That is why researchers and creators of tourism are faced with the task of creating an environment for sustainable business.

Tourism affects all spheres of human life directly or indirectly, which is why it is extremely important to shed light on various aspects of the sustainable development of tourism. In this way, tourism employees will be able to see how they can improve their business in the sphere of economy, culture, sustainability. The obvious multidisciplinarity of tourism studies can show us the right path for the sustainable development of tourism and its improvement. That's why the task of sustainable tourism is to preserve the value of the human environment through a balance in which the fulfillment of the current needs of tourists will not jeopardize the satisfaction of the needs of future generations.

We invite authors from various fields to contribute their research to a multidisciplinary approach to sustainable tourism. This special issue is intended for all researchers dealing with various aspects of tourism studies and sustainability.
