The UN 2030 agenda for global sustainable development has huge connotations for the theory, practice, and policy of tourism. This study comprehensively evaluates extant scholarly publications related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in existing tourism scholarship. This review also evaluates existing research to identify knowledge gaps in the literature and to set future research agendas in tourism research to accelerate the progress of the UN SDGs. Doing so, we have utilized the systematic literature review (SLR) technique to identify, select, review, and evaluate extant scholarly publications on this topic. The Web of Science database was used to discover research publications using the keywords, tour* AND (sdg* OR “sustainable development goal*” OR “UNSDG*” OR “UN agenda” OR “global agenda” OR “agenda 2030” OR “agenda-2030”). A sample of 88 relevant empirical articles were systematically selected and reviewed. The findings are categorized into three main sections: (i) descriptive profiling of existing research, (ii) literature synthesis, and (iii) existing knowledge gaps and future research agenda. Given that the SLRs are rarely used in the realm of sustainable tourism and SDGs, this review provides a knowledge base of what is already known to further extend the scholarly debate on the role of tourism in achieving the SDGs. In particular, we highlight theme-based knowledge gaps and limitations in the existing literature and suggest future research agendas by presenting several potential research questions.

联合国2030年全球可持续发展议程对于旅游业的理论、实践和政策有着巨大的内涵。本研究全面评估了现有旅游学术中与联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）相关的现有学术出版物。本综述还评估了现有研究，以确定文献中的知识差距，并制定旅游研究的未来研究议程，以加速联合国可持续发展目标的进展。为此，我们利用系统文献综述（SLR）技术来识别、选择、回顾和评估有关该主题的现有学术出版物。Web of Science 数据库用于使用以下关键词发现研究出版物：游览* AND（sdg* 或“可持续发展目标*”或“UNSDG*”或“联合国议程”或“全球议程”或“2030 年议程”或“2030 年议程”）。系统选取并回顾了 88 篇相关实证文章作为样本。研究结果分为三个主要部分：（i）现有研究的描述性分析，（ii）文献综合，以及（iii）现有知识差距和未来研究议程。鉴于 SLR 很少用于可持续旅游业和可持续发展目标领域，本综述提供了已知的知识库，以进一步扩展关于旅游业在实现可持续发展目标中的作用的学术辩论。特别是，我们强调现有文献中基于主题的知识差距和局限性，并通过提出几个潜在的研究问题来建议未来的研究议程。
