Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of sustainable tourism principles in destination planning through a systematic literature review (SLR). The research focuses on identifying dominant sustainability dimensions, forms of implementation, and key factors influencing the success and challenges of sustainable destination planning. This study employed an SLR approach by following the PRISMA guidelines and applying the PICO framework to ensure a systematic and transparent review process. Literature searches were conducted using the Google Scholar database, focusing on articles published between 2021 and 2025. The results indicate that the environmental dimension is the most dominant aspect of sustainable destination planning, emphasizing environmental management strategies such as natural resource protection, conservation efforts, waste management, and environmental carrying capacity control. The social dimension is reflected through strong community participation, community empowerment, and the preservation of socio-cultural values, which contribute to social sustainability and destination resilience. Meanwhile, the economic dimension highlights the importance of local economic development, employment creation, and equitable distribution of tourism benefits. The findings also reveal that stakeholder collaboration, policy alignment, and institutional support play a crucial role in integrating sustainability principles into destination planning. The implementation of sustainable tourism principles in destination planning is a multidimensional and integrative process that requires balanced attention to environmental, social, and economic aspects, supported by collaborative governance and inclusive planning approaches to achieve long-term destination sustainability.
