Abstract
This work analyzes academic work from 2004 to 2020 with an influence on the blueprint for sustainable tourism innovation strategies. Criteria used include verifying which are the main concerns, the contribution of sustainability indices, and implications to practitioners and high educational institutions in the area. This is increasingly important due to present and future challenges undermining the existence of a sustainable tourism industry. Accurate metrics can empower destinations, and higher education and its inner research must have a key role in the development of effective instruments. The challenge comprises selecting and monitoring them for sustainable tourism policy. Educational and research institutes with tourism studies should include in their syllabuses real cases and tools for developing key sustainability models and metrics to integrate and respond more promptly to critical challenges and trends.
