Summary: The article explores how to combine big data technology with specific applications in the tourism industry to achieve sustainable development. By constructing a big data mining model, based on tourism data from 2010 to 2021, regression and exponential curve models were used to forecast passenger traffic. A tourism spatial dimension model was constructed to build a tourism data table, preprocess the data, and construct a data mining model using a SQL Server model. The experimental research conducted on cities applying smart tourism data mining technology showed that it can improve foreign exchange income, increase employment in the tourism industry, and drive the development of tourism-related industries. Compared with 2010, the tourism foreign exchange income of the four cities would increase by more than 70% in 2021.

Summary: The development of ice-and-snow tourism has great potential for poverty alleviation and sustainable development in alpine areas, but the suitability and potential evaluation in poverty-stricken areas has received little attention. A study focusing on 832 poverty-stricken counties in China found significant variations in the suitability of glacier- and ski-related tourism, with proposed development strategies to address challenges related to climate change and environmental protection. This research can serve as a reference for scientific planning and policy-making in poverty-stricken areas.

Summary: This study used a dynamic recycling model to evaluate the mining production and mining land recovery efficiency in China's coal-producing regions. The results showed that the mining production efficiency was higher in major coal-producing regions, but the mining land recovery efficiency was lower. The study also suggested improving human resources in the mining industry to enhance mining management and sustainability efficiency.

Summary: The research focuses on the sustainable tourism modeling in 23 provinces of China based on the annual data from 2010 to 2021. The findings reveal that the increase in the general level of prices has a significant and long-term adverse effect on the sustainable development of the tourism industry in Chinese provinces. Additionally, foreign direct investment has a positive short-term and long-term impact on the sustainable development of the tourism industry in high-income provinces, but a negative impact in low-income provinces. Recommended policies include promoting green financing market and green FDI development.

Summary: This study examines the impact of green financing and renewable energy on China's tourism industry using panel data from 24 provinces between 2005 and 2020. The findings demonstrate that renewable energy, green finance, and technological innovation have a positive association with the tourism sector, while health costs and carbon emissions have a significant negative effect. Moreover, the study reveals the causal relationship among these variables and provides important policy implications for sustainable tourism in China.

Summary: This study consolidates fragmented literature and evidence in cultural heritage tourism by highlighting three important lenses on the institutional antecedents of sustainable development agenda. It identifies governance mechanisms, community agency, and the influence of supranational institutions as the distinct institutional antecedents of sustainable development in cultural heritage tourism. The study demonstrates the multidimensional nature of sustainable cultural heritage tourism and evaluates the efficacy of these antecedents in embedding the sustainable development agenda.

Summary: This study examines the impact of economic, environmental dimensions, and digital marketing on post-industrial tourism development, as well as the differences in attitudes towards post-industrial tourism based on age, gender, and education. The findings highlight the significant role of digital marketing in catalyzing post-industrial tourism development, and show that there is no specific influence of age, gender, and education on attitudes towards post-industrial tourism.

Summary: The tourism workforce is diverse, and there is limited literature exploring the role of volunteering in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study uses a critical tourism lens to explore how tourism volunteering can contribute to SDG realization, and finds that volunteer tourism has greater potential to contribute to the SDGs as a development agenda.

Summary: The study evaluates the multi-dimensional changes in fossil-fuel-based energy demand resulting from the transition from small-holder farming to large-scale commercial agriculture, comparing low-input and high-input agricultural practices. It finds that high-input crop production significantly increases fossil-fuel-based energy consumption, highlighting the need for prioritizing local resource access and incorporating energy-intensity analyses in land use governance.

Summary: The world may be facing an infrastructure gap hindering the green energy transition due to significant amounts of feedstock metals required. Attention has been focused on the extractive aspects of the mining industry with few considerations for downstream processing segments. Growing international tensions have led to regional powers reshoring and near-shoring mining processing capabilities.

Summary: In the context of natural resource degradation, migration can be an adaptation response for both those leaving and those supported by remittances. However, migration can also be a result of an inability to adapt in-situ, with people forced to move to situations with equal or worse exposure to environmental threats. The study finds that the impact of drought on mobility is intensified with the frequency of droughts and that higher income households are less likely to resort to migration as an adaptation strategy.

Summary: Urban density is not the main factor in the spread of COVID-19 in cities. Inequalities in income, healthcare, and living conditions, along with government responsiveness, play a key role in the spread of contagions. Urban policies need to address these inequalities to become resilient in the face of pandemics.
