Abstract
Indicators are the most popular sustainability assessment tools in the field of tourism, however after three decades of research, the current sustainable tourism indicators (STIs) still suffer from a difficulty in implementation. Our study aims to find the key issues hampering the process of indicator development in the field of sustainable tourism through a systematic literature review over 30 years of study by 1) highlighting the key limitations and challenges associated with STIs research and 2) identifying the main barriers to stakeholder participation in STIs development and implementation. According to this systematic review, data availability/reliability and insufficient stakeholder involvement are the main limitations in STIs literature. Providing a deep insight into issues challenging STIs development not only explain the current failures to practically implementation of STIs and provides great opportunities for future, but also contributes to understand why it has been difficult to motivate stakeholders to minimise unsustainable tourism behaviours.
