Abstract

This academic article is a literature review as part of a research project on the topic of governance and its impact on tourism in six major ASEAN economies. The objectives of the study are: (1) to examine the factors affecting demand and competition in the tourism industry, (2) to investigate the influence of governance concepts related to factors in the international tourism industry, and (3) to explore the relationship between governance concepts and the development of the tourism industry in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals.


            The study of the relationship between the concepts of tourism demand, governance and Sustainable Development Goals found that the most significant factors influencing tourism demand are income, transportation costs, and prices. Governance and public administration are about properly managing resources to ensure that citizens have equal access to public services. Furthermore, governance plays a crucial role in promoting and developing sustainable tourism, including sustainable consumption patterns, sustainable production, fair access to resources, and social responsibility. The results of this study are considered basic elements for analysis in related research.
