Sustainable Supply Chains - Implications for Tourists and Residents in Tropical Destinations

Mohammadreza Akbari, Alrence Halibas, Hung Manh Nguyen, and Jenny Panchal explore eco-friendly supply chains (SCs) in the tourism sector, focusing on SC management and environmental protection to understand their impact on tourists and communities. They provide an overview of emerging trends in sustainable tourism SCs, including waste management and circular economy practices, green technology and innovation, policy support and regulatory frameworks, and community empowerment with social inclusion. Their recommendations emphasize adopting an integrated sustainability strategy encompassing all stages of the SC and leveraging digital solutions, such as blockchain technology and data analytics, to improve transparency, traceability, and accountability within SCs. Community engagement and empowerment, multi-stakeholder partnerships, and knowledge-sharing platforms are recognized as effective avenues for fostering collective action toward a more sustainable tourism industry.
