The study examines whether the growing popularity of the ESG approach could result
in the decline or disappearance of the CSR concept, which has encountered numerous
challenges in practical implementation. The question is analyzed in the context of
the tourism sector. After introducing the relationship between CSR and ESG, this paper
examines the connection between responsibility and tourism, with a focus on sustainability
in the sector under study. The empirical research methodology used is bibliometric
analysis, which involves 924 studies using Publish or Perish (PoP) software and PRISMA
methodology. The analysis has explored the relationship between sustainability and
tourism, as well as between tourism and ESG. The bibliometric maps reveal a strong
relationship between CSR and ESG concepts in the study area. It is important to note
that ESG does not replace CSR, but rather provides a measurement and framework for
it to address its problems. In the tourism sector, the ESG field is dominated by the
first 'E' pillar, meaning that sustainability is mainly focused on environmental and
natural aspects, while social or even economic sustainability, and ethics are less
prominent.
