Abstract

This study aims to produce a systematic literature review on the qualitative and quantitative determinants that model the formulation of tourism policies in the various contexts of destination development. Through a comparative analysis methodology and an open, axial, then selective coding process, under an application of the PRISMA protocol to the SCOPUS, Clarivate Web of Science, and JSTOR databases, including studies providing a conceptualization and/or treatment by variables of the constructs studied. The research deduces that 24 significant studies published before 2024 provide the conceptual framework for the evolution of tourism policies under three theories, namely promotion, sustainability and competitiveness, each of which is based on multiple dimensions and variables (items) of realization and implementation. Following the COVID-19 crisis, tourism policies assume a pivotal and fundamental role in shaping the future of the industry in question. The work was conducted by a single researcher (reviewer), which constitutes a major limitation considering the risk of exhaustiveness of the review.
