Abstract: Abstract The global threat of climate change, diminishing natural resources, and significant socio-economic inequalities is forcing companies and individuals to evaluate the impact they are having on the natural, social, and economic environments. This trend has led to an increased availability and demand for socially, environmentally, and economically responsible products. The tourism industry relies heavily on the sustained beauty and hospitality of the places and communities it operates in and has come under pressure to manage its negative and positive impacts. Tourism is an activity that can have a really big impact on sustainable development. Sustainability of tourism involves extensive cooperation between tourist companies, tourist destinations, and national, regional, and local authorities in order to cover a wide group of challenges and at the same time to remain competitive. This paper investigates the current situation of what tourist behavior can be considered as sustainable and little consensus about who environment-friendly tourists are. This study reviews theoretical and empirical studies by tourism researchers and explores work done on environmentally friendly behavior.
