Abstract

The growth of tourism-related activities in sharing economy, especially accommodation and mobility, started at the turn of the 2010s. Since then the growth has accelerated and strengthened every year. Expansion of the phenomenon has raised sharing economy from the role of a challenger or alternative activity into mainstream. This movement has to be taken into account in the traditional tourism business and development actions. The multidimensional phenomenon has also attracted researchers’ attention in recent years. Research is done in different disciplines and studies that are published in a wide range of scientific publications. In this review, the results of a comprehensive literature review are presented. Responsibility and values play an important role in scientific discussion regarding sharing economy in tourism. Also, in order to manage and develop the tourism sharing economy in a mutually beneficial direction, it is important to be aware of and take into account the aspects of responsibility. The results of the review are analyzed and classified in the framework of five-dimensional responsibility.
