Prosperity is one of the five critical areas for Sustainable Development according to the 2030 Agenda. This research develops a prosperity model for a tourism destination and examines stakeholders’ perception of the role of sustainable tourism development in enhancing the prosperity. A set of 18 sustainability indicators were used and identified through a hybrid model that combines results from a systematic literature search and four-stage convergent interviews. Results from 171 participants from five different groups of stakeholders revealed that sustainable tourism development enhances the prosperity of the target destination in general. Sustainability was found to be a medium to strong predictor of key prosperity dimensions, particularly environmental quality and sociocultural empowerment. Finally, the level of relationships were quantified to assist destination managers in identifying where to expend effort and resources to improve the implementation of sustainable tourism while considering the key dimensions of prosperity.

根据《 2030年议程》，繁荣是可持续发展的五个关键领域之一。这项研究开发了旅游目的地的繁荣模型，并考察了利益相关者对可持续旅游业发展在促进繁荣中所起作用的认识。通过混合模型，使用和识别了一套18种可持续性指标，该模型结合了系统文献检索和四阶段收敛访谈的结果。来自五个不同利益相关者群体的171名参与者的结果表明，可持续的旅游业发展总体上提高了目标目的地的繁荣度。人们发现，可持续性是重要繁荣维度，特别是环境质量和社会文化赋权的中等至强的预测指标。最后，
