Abstract

Today's digitally transformed tourism industry has encountered the impact of an unprecedented epidemic, leading to stagnant development. Some scholars believe that the combination of sustainable development and tourism will largely contribute to the upgrading of tourism, and that sustainable tourism development will be a breakthrough in the future development of tourism. This paper discusses sustainable development as well as sustainable tourism development, and after considering the different challenges faced, it argues that sustainable tourism development needs to be carefully considered in terms of how it will be implemented, followed by exploring practical issues in the face of future performance, and stakeholder issues, and making corresponding recommendations.
