Life Cycle-Based Sustainability and Circularity Indicators for the Tourism Industry: A Literature Review

The tourism industry is one of the fastest growing sectors, even though in the last couple of years there has been a negative effect due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This growth has led to an increase in environmental, economic and social impacts. Furthermore, the transition towards a circular economy...
