Sažetak
Tourism is a socio-cultural phenomenon, which also plays a significant role in the world economy. The international tourism market operates under constant changes in trends. Also, it is under the influence of unpredictable situations that negatively affect the tourism flow. One of these situations is the Covid-19 pandemic that began in the first half of 2020 and almost completely stopped international tourism arrivals. A brief improvement in the situation with the Covid-19 pandemic has shown that in some European countries’ tourism is recovering rapidly in a short time. However, to reach a fast and successful recovery after the pandemic, the tourism industry will need to adjust its work to new trends which will appear in the tourism international market. Trends indicate that implementation of greening and reaching sustainable development will play an important role. One of the tools to achieve this goal could be the implementation of different forms of certifications in the tourism industry. However, all stakeholders involved in tourism need to act in the direction of sustainability, and retailing is one of the most important in this process. The purpose of the paper is to explore the implementation of certification and ecolabels in tourism and retailing in the process of reaching sustainable development. Secondary data have been used to analyze scientific literature. A bibliometric analysis of published scientific articles in the Web of Science databases was conducted. The findings have shown that numerous different ecolabels and certifications are used in tourism and retailing practice on the international level. However, these topics are still insufficiently represented in scientific researches.
