Mapping Tourism and Global Change: A Bibliometric Analysis (2012-2022)

Abstract:

Tourism is an important sector of the industry with global influence on the economy and development while global change is nowadays a major challenge worldwide. This study aims to present a bibliometric analysis that evidences the trends of scientific production on “tourism” and “global change”, supported by visualization techniques provided by VOSviewer software. A total of 3519 documents were retrieved from Scopus database and the analysis includes the identification of frequencies of papers published, most influential authors, countries with the highest contributions, co-occurrences term map, author co-citations analysis, and co-citation map by countries. Our findings evidence that there is an interrelation between the terms “tourism” and “global change” and that the literature on that topic has experienced sustained growth worldwide through collaboration networks including several prolific authors.
