Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable development has become an essential aspect of scientific studies in the field of economics. This Special Issue aims to highlight tourism employment analysis under a sustainable development approach in the context of economic growth and urban development. Sustainable tourism has been driving important urban changes. Currently, the smart city concept's applicability to tourism activity and promotion is particularly relevant for enabling tourist destinations to achieve qualification as smart destinations. Sustainable tourism would be linked, in this sense, to a model of urban planning and management that uses technology to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. This issue is framed as a contribution to innovations that link the tourism sector in cities to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that this sector's growth and development is smart, sustainable, and socially responsible and generates decent work opportunities.
