Short Abstract
Sustainability, in a global scope, has become in the main vector of tourist destination, searching the competitiveness and his own survival, regarding to the maintenance of the territorial, social and economic balances. In that sense, attention should be paid to the case of Lanzarote (Canary Islands) as paradigm of the combination of sustainable destination and mass tourist destination, based on a previous model promoted by the art and nature binomial, proposed by the artist César Manrique, the first visionary of the looming threats over the tourist destinations which do not have the right focus on sustainability. Despite its relevance as a pioneer destination in sustainability management, the research undertaken has been limited. Thus, this paper fill this gap by carrying a comprehensive literature review on sustainability, paying special attention to the case of Lanzarote.
As a result, this paper provides a reference guide to understand the current situation of research on this topic, context, methods, and focus of previous studies on Lanzarote Island. Finally, it identifies trends and reflections on future research.
Keywords: sustainability, sustainable development, mass destination, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
