Tourism Intensity, Salutogenic Settings, and Population Health in Alpine Destinations: A Scoping Review with Implications for South Tyrol

Background/Objectives: Alpine destinations combine high tourism intensity with location-bound natural health resources that position them as potentially salutogenic settings; however, the evidence connecting tourism, public health, and well-being in this context has never been systematically mapped. This scoping review charts the concepts, evidence, and knowledge gaps at this intersection, focusing on South Tyrol (Italy). Methods: This review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA-ScR. Five databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus) were searched, supplemented by Publish or Perish searches of Google Scholar, Crossref, and OpenAlex. Records were screened against a Population–Concept–Context framework, with geographic restrictions applied at screening. Data were synthesized descriptively without aggregating effect estimates. Results: Of 4163 records identified, 3343 were screened, and 128 …
