Transportation plays a major role in tourism industry. However, the greenhouse gasses emissions from the vehicle can cause global warming and climate change. Therefore, in this article, the sustainable transportation options are explored to see the influence of sustainable transportation towards the tourism industry. One of the objectives of this article is to examine how urban mobility initiatives have influenced the development of sustainable transport alternatives in cities dependent on tourism. This article used the process of systematic literature review as the methodology. The discussion on the article is the expanded research on urban mobility, non-motorized transportation, and electric public transport and it influences in tourism industry. The conclusion is that transportation and tourism are interrelated and policies regarding green transportation must be enforced to reduce the impact of transportation towards environment.
