Arzoumanidis, Ioannis, Anna M. Walker, Luigia Petti, and Andrea Raggi. "Life Cycle-Based Sustainability and Circularity Indicators for the Tourism Industry: A Literature Review". Sustainability. (1635292800)October 27, 2021. https://www.mdpi.com/...
Carbon footprint/climate change appears to be the most commonly used life-cycle sustainability indicator for tourism and hospitality. Specific sustainability indicators that consider socio-economic and socio-cultural aspects have rarely been specified in the industry's transition towards circular economy. Future life-cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) must be based on scientifically sound and easy-to-use sustainability and circularity indicators performed through LCSA case studies. The indicators identified in the case studies will be used in decision-making tools (e.g., Delphi hierarchy process) with the involvement of the relevant parties for the selection of the most suitable stakeholders – operators, professionals, online booking platforms, etc.
