   Sustainable development has gained attention in recent years not only among academics but has also become widespread among enterprises, which have realized that their operation should address environmental and societal prosperity as well as economics. However, something cannot be managed without measuring it, and this also applies to sustainability. When conducting a systematic literature review on sustainability indicators (SIs) for the yachting industry, their absence is observed; this must be rectified if enterprises from the yachting industry wish to operate sustainably. Therefore, the research question posited in this research is following: which are the most suitable SIs for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the yachting industry and its related three business sectors (i.e., yacht-related service sector, yacht-related manufacturing, and yacht-related maritime infrastructure)? After collecting the sustainable indicators evidenced in the literature, a literature review was completed with indicators from other international initiatives and provided a restricted list to be first verified through peer review (expert judgment) with academics from France, Italy, and Slovenia. Afterward, the list of SIs was tested by conducting interviews with 18 SMEs from the yachting industry in Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain, asking them about the appropriateness and relevance of the proposed SIs. According to their feedback, the proposed SIs were revised and adapted to suit their needs and specific aspects. The final list of SIs for the yachting industry consists of 33 SIs for the yacht-related service industry, 38 for the yacht-related manufacturing industry and 38 for the yacht-related maritime infrastructure industry. The SIs were finally categorized based on both Triple-Bottom-Line (TBL) concept and an operational typology of indicators: input, process, output, and outcome. By suggesting the SIs for the yachting industry, this study aims at helping SMEs in identifying “hot spots” by developing their own sustainability assessment system, being able to develop relevant sustainability reports and increase stakeholders’ engagement. •Literature on sustainability indicators (SIs) is systematically reviewed.•The final list of SIs is verified and validated by expert judgment & SMEs.•TBL concept & operational indicator typologies are applied for SIs categorization.•Sustainability indicators vary according to a sector within yachting industry.

   The multi disciplinary nature of research on yachting leads to a need for a synthesis of prior findings. To fill this gap, this paper presents a systematic review of the literature. Although the search conducted uses terms such as sailboat and cruising, the study focuses on yachting, including both ownership or chartering. The review provides first a descriptive view of the fields, journal outlets, authors, and years of publications. Next, the study shows four mainstreams identified, namely,(1) innovation, (2) consumer experience (3) sustainability, and (4) yacht-related events. Based on the description of prior findings, future research needs are identified Read less

   Scientific evaluation of yachting tourism safety risks (YTSRs) is crucial to reducing accidents in this sector. This paper is based on the data of 115 yachting tourism accidents in China’s coastal areas from 2008 to 2021. A fishbone diagram and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) were used to identify the risk factors of yachting tourism from four aspects human, yachting, environmental, and management risk and to construct an evaluation index system. To perform dynamic evaluation, a dynamic evaluation model of YTSRs was built using dynamic Bayesian networks (DBN). The results indicate that human factors, such as the unsafe behavior of yachtsmen and tourists, are the primary risk factors; the risk is higher in summer than in winter, and the Pearl River Delta region has a greater risk of yachting tourism. It is suggested to improve the normal safety risk prevention and control system of yachting tourism, to advocate for multi-subject coordination and co-governance, and to improve the insurance service system so as to provide a guarantee for the safe and healthy development of yachting tourism in China. The findings provide theoretical and practical guidance for marine and coastal tourism safety management, as well as the prevention and control of YTSRs. Read less
