- Recent conceptualisations of sustainable tourism take as starting points the major societal challenges of our times. Sustainable tourism is about the relationship between tourism and the world we live in, where climate and environment, health and welfare, democracy and community building as well as digitalisation, are areas that tourism stakeholders must address. Sustainable tourism is thereby a response to real-world issues and opportunities (Jones & Walmsley, 2022) and a direction to transform societal systems and behaviours and contribute to resilient societies and sustainable development (Bramwell et al., 2017; Edgell Sr, 2019). In this article, three members of the EUTOPIA Community on Tourism and Experiences outline some of the main characteristics of the sustainable tourism discourse; what they are and how stakeholders can address them. We retrace a selection of research and policy orientations for sustainable tourism in the context of current societal challenges, outlined in 10 parts. The selection is not all-encompassing but represents the most urgent and critical perspectives to tourism studies and is based on our own research, experiences and interpretations. We discuss tourism’s contribution to place development on larger and smaller scales, for example tax revenues, competence supply, and wellbeing of residents, tourists, companies and societies (part 1). We address climate and environmental degradation, where tourism is a key contributor (part 2), and the connected economic growth paradigm (part 3). Furthermore, tourism’s role in inclusive and just futures is discussed (part 4) before bringing up the goal conflicts and wicked problems involved in tourism decision-making (part 5). We propose that issues and opportunities must be handled through knowledge integration between actors, which we discuss from a systems theory perspective (part 6). The twin transition and smart tourism concepts are presented as part of digitalisation in tourism (part 7). Sustainable behaviour is another important aspect of sustainable tourism, for instance, how nudging initiatives and immersive experiences may benefit society (part 8). We also discuss and give examples of tools and instruments that contribute to sustainability in the tourism industry (part 9). Finally, we draw some main conclusions and briefly address ways forward (part 10).
