Abstract

Objective: The objective of this work was to analyse the studies on golf tourism from a sustainability perspective.

Originality / Relevance: Golf tourism is part of the sports tourism and represents an enormous boom around the world in recent decades. However, academic research on golf tourism has shown increasing interest in a relatively short time.

Main results: The analysis findings indicated a high concentration of studies and researchers from Mediterranean countries and, specifically, located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, highlighting the regions the Algarve (Portugal) and especially Andalusia (Spain).

Theoretical / methodological contributions: Golf tourism is of great importance for the tourism industry. However, it is also necessary to considerer the influence of territorial planning and development, both environmentally and socially.
