The tour operator has important roles in destination management for sustainable tourism. Given that the empirical study of destination management for sustainable tourism is in an undeveloped state, this research describes efforts to prove its mediator role between perceived innovation characteristics and business sustainable orientation towards tour operator roles. Based on a study among 228 tour operator roles in Malaysia, the analyses reveal that sustainable destination management enhances a positive relationship with perceived innovation characteristics and sustainable business orientation on tour operator roles. In this regard, it is proposed that the perceived innovation characteristics and sustainable business orientation, as well as the destination management, are manifestation of sustainable development that influence tour operator to perform their role more sustainable in tourism industry. � 2021 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
