Summary/Abstract: The United Nations designated the year 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development with the aim to underline the key contribution of tourism to achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The paper looks at the business opportunities that the SDGs might generate for tourism companies. A literature review will be followed by an analysis of practical examples of implementation of the SDGs in the area of tourism, with a focus on private sector -led initiatives. Some conclusions on the SDGs-related business opportunities for tourism companies will be drawn and further research on the topic will be suggested.
