Sažetak
Purpose - This paper conducts a meticulous bibliometric analysis of 659 documents indexed
in the Web of Science database, exploring the intellectual evolution of Smart Tourism
Destinations (STD) and contributing to understanding the evolution of scientific literature on
STD until December 2023, guiding future explorations in this dynamic and evolving field.
Methodology/Design/Approach - By unifying the conceptual structure and highlighting key
descriptive elements with the application of statistical methods, this research provides insights
into the intellectual fabric of STD research.
Findings - Our findings show the evolution of the conceptual structure, influential authors,
institutions and countries involved in STD research, as well as the evolving social structure
within the field. The surge in scientific output, especially since 2019 aligns with the integration
of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, immersive mechanisms, big data,
and robotics, prompting uncertainty in business implementation and stakeholder responses.
Originality of the research - This study sheds light on the intellectual evolution of STD by
summarising a wide range of literature, helping the authors to be informed about future
research directions in the field.
