WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE TOURISM INDUSTRY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Аннотация

One of the important issue in the world is waste and recycling management. Considering the
pollution, economic and social damages, the reduction of natural resources caused by the wastes, the effective
management and recycling of the wastes have impact on the operational efficiencies and the effective management
and recycling of waste are important in ensuring sustainable development and productivity for enterprises. The
tourism industry can be seen as a natural laboratory for waste management and recycling within the scope of its
products and services. Recent years, it has been observed that there has been an increasing study on waste
management and recycling; however, there is a limited study on the tourism industry. Therefore, the main purpose of
the study is to review the waste management studies in the tourism industry by systematic review technique. For this
purpose, 15 articles published in the Web of Science (WOS) since 1975 have been examined. The results were
evaluated and suggestions were given for future researches within the scope of the tourism industry.
