Abstract

Environmental sustainability is a significant issue nowadays. Travelers must become more environmentally conscious of protecting the earth. Academics focus more on environmental degradation, pollution, and human behaviour's influence on climate change. Late 20th-century researchers are increasingly environmentally conscious. Tourists' environmentally friendly conduct at their destination is influenced by contextual variables, although they have not been fully investigated. Researchers say studying visitor behaviour reduces tourism's environmental effect. By reviewing the literature, it is possible to contextualize the pro-environmental behaviour of tourists. Businesses, governments, and tourists must alter their practices to ensure a sustainable future.
