| Summary: | The tourism sector has correspondingly attracted a great deal of interest from
many researchers with particular focuses falling on tourismmanagement and
witnessing exponential growth in the research on this field. Given this, the
objective of this current study involves producing a chart of these scientific
publications, identifying their intellectual structure and the research trends in
tourism management. Our research thus seeks to contribute towards: (i)
mapping the intellectual structure of research on tourism management as
depicted in the academic literature, (ii) identifying the fundamental
contributions made by the tourism management research field, (iii)
determining the lines of research constituting its intellectual structure, (iv)
identifying the scientific journals with the greatest impact on this area and (v)
identifying the geographic distribution of knowledge, by universities and
countries, and the collaborative structures. |
