Abstract

Sustainable tourism development is complex, with multiple stakeholders influencing and being influenced by it. Effective collaboration among stakeholders is essential to identify solutions and achieve shared objectives. Notably, systematic reviews exploring the link between stakeholder collaboration and sustainable development are limited. This research seeks to address this gap and propose directions for future research. A systematic review identified forty-four relevant articles from the Scopus database, drawn from an initial pool of one hundred and twelve articles. The analysis revealed three key themes. Recommendations were provided to enhance stakeholder collaboration and promote sustainable tourism. The findings suggest that improved stakeholder collaboration can lead to better management, advances in environmental and resource conservation, and economic growth. This study systematically examines the relationship between stakeholder collaboration, stakeholder management and sustainable development, offering valuable insights for policymakers and contributing to the academic literature by elucidating the role of stakeholder collaboration in sustainable tourism development, while proposing strategies to enhance collaboration.
