Abstract
In recent years, scientific research on sustainable tourism has attracted wide attention, which has fueled the concomitant need to comprehend the current state of research in sustainable tourism. In order to identify the research status of sustainable tourism and explore the direction for future research, this paper presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 2,184 academic literature related to sustainable tourism. By using five bibliometric methods of citation analysis, co-analysis, co-occurrence analysis, burst detection analysis and timeline view analysis, this paper reviews and analyzes the study of sustainable tourism from three perspectives of performance analysis, collaboration networks analysis and keywords analysis. The popular issues in the current study, future research and limitations are also discussed in this paper. By systematically reviewing the academic literature on sustainable tourism, this paper deepens the understanding of relevant topics, and provides a reference for scholars to carry out research on sustainable tourism in the future.
