Summary: The sustainability of a territory is achieved through orderly, balanced, and harmonious planning over time. Sustainable tourism planning must consider the emotions of interest groups. A participatory qualitative study was conducted with 118 hotel managers from the Extremadura region in Spain, using a validated scale of negative and positive emotions. In addition, a quantitative longitudinal exploratory study was carried out to analyze the influence of the II Tourism Plan (2021-2023) on hotel managers' willingness to participate and the emotions generated from this participation in the planning process.

Summary: While responsible and sustainable tourism share many common elements, their ideological context and societal background may involve critical differences. Sustainable tourism is based on regulative structures involving multiple scales of policies and decision-making, while responsible tourism derives its focus from neoliberal governance with emphasis on individualized behavior and decision-making. These different contextual backgrounds indicate the need to carefully distinguish between these two concepts, especially when considering the future response of the tourism industry to global challenges.

Summary: This study examines Environmentally Sustainable Practices (ESPs) in the Organic Food Tourist Route (OFTR) in South Brazil, finding that tourism enterprises in the route adopt ESPs according to their respective contexts, leading to decreased expenses and the provision of organic products.

Summary: This paper presents a Coastal Migration Index (CMI) for decision-making in the context of sea-level rise due to climate change, incorporating factors like coastal human population density, urbanization level, and coastal flooding. Results from application of CMI in Mexico and Cuba show varying risk levels and potential resettlement needs, with some areas able to withstand effects through management strategies. The method used also resulted in a stoplight map for coastal decision-makers to take appropriate management actions.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between CSR activities, brand trust, supportive communication intention, and brand loyalty in a halal restaurant franchise. The results show that CSR activities for different stakeholders can increase brand loyalty through trust. Among the four CSR dimensions, activities for employees have the greatest influence, followed by activities for the community and environment. However, activities for customers do not have a significant effect on trust. Trust positively influences supportive communication intention and brand loyalty. The findings have important implications for CSR engagement in the restaurant industry from a practical and managerial perspective.
