“…The results of the bibliometric analysis indicate strong cooperation between the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada in ecotourism research. The two most productive countries were found to be Australia and the United States according to Singh et al (2022a). The country cooperation network also shows a medium-level cluster structure as indicated by the statistical values.…”

“…The top three countries for case studies were China, South Africa, and the United States, and the main methodologies were the use of geographic information systems and the contingent valuation method. Singh et al (2022a) determined the topic trends, collaborations, and intellectual and conceptual structures in the Journal of Ecotourism. Their results revealed that the Journal of Ecotourism made important progress in terms of citations and publications, and its papers were cited in premier journals on tourism.…”

The paper aims to examine the trends and evolution of ecotourism research in the last 20 years, highlighting co-citations, collaborations, and emerging research themes. A total of 1387 ecotourism-related research from the Web of Science (WoS) database from 1991 to 2021 were analyzed in some bibliometric analyses using CiteSpace V software. The WoS database was scanned using the terms “ecotourism” and “eco-tourism.” While scanning, the “Hospitality, Leisure, Sport, and Tourism” field was selected for filtering, and articles published by September 12, 2021, were accessed. The most frequently studied cluster of topics related to ecotourism includes the creation of local benefits, ecotourism intentions, and community empowerment. The three most frequently used keywords related to ecotourism are “ecotourism,” “tourism,” and “conservation.” The outcome of this research constitutes a unique contribution to the area of ecotourism. The study provides an in-depth bibliometric analysis of publications and identification of important research trends. It also identifies possible avenues for future research in the knowledge domain of ecotourism.

IntroductionInformation and communication technologies are an integral part of the hospitality and tourism field. By transforming industry practices, strategies and structures, information and communication technologies have been renovating the tourism sector since the 1980s (Porter, 2001;Bulchand-Gidumal et al., 2011). In addition, new technologies have been aiding in creating new business models in the hospitality and tourism business. Consumers presently rely on online consumer-produced content while making choices and opinions about destinations, hotels and restaurants (Cobanoglu, 2010). In response to the escalating involvement and need for information and communication technologies, the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Technology (JHTT) was launched in 2010 under Prof Cihan Cobanoglu from the University of South Florida. The journal aims to bridge the space between academia and industry and explicitly provide a pedagogic platform to hospitality and tourism information technology and e-business. Currently, JHTT is among the premier sources in this domain. The journal broadly focuses on the impact of information and communication technologies on the hospitality and tourism industry covering prominent and contemporary topics such as artificial intelligence, automation and robotics, blockchain/ cryptocurrencies, chatbots, digital marketing, e-marketing, e-word of mouth, internet of things, the service-oriented architecture of business systems, smart tourism and smart destinations, technologies for sustainable hospitality and tourism and so forth.JHTT has been continuously growing since 2010 and has succeeded in achieving a higher stature as a global academic research platform. Various metrics of the scholarly world reflect the progression and repute of JHTT. Among the quantitative measures, the journal has a five-year impact factor of 4.566 (as per Clarivate Analytics). The journal articles published between 2015 and 2019 have received an average of 4.566 citations in 2020. Moreover, the CiteScore of 5 reflects that articles published between 2017 and 2020 are credited with an average of five citations in 2021. The journal is ranked "B" by the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List as a qualitative measure. It is also acknowledged by the Chartered Association of Business Schools (CABS, UK) Academic Journal Guide for its original and high-quality peer-reviewed content. It is abstracted and indexed in many databases, including Scopus and Web of Science.Acknowledging the JHTT's growth as a regarded source and the importance of information and communication technologies in hospitality and tourism as a topic, this study aims to provide a retrospection of JHTT since its inception. It is essential to study its publications and citations as a whole so that the productivity and impact of a scientific source can be understood. This article offers an insightful understanding of the authors' publication, citation, collaboration and methodological choices in JHTT. The article uses various methods to...

“…The research in the field of sustainable tourism with the use of bibliometric analysis is gaining supporters and is discussed in the literature on a large scale (Table 1). The main research problems of bibliometric studies on sustainability and tourism are: a) the identification of the most popular topics and research problems (Davidescu et al, 2022;Iqbal et al, 2022;Khanra et al, 2021;León-Gómez et al, 2021;Serrano et al, 2019;Singh et al, 2022;Trip et al, 2021); b) the geographical volatility of studies (Garrigos-Simon et al, 2018;León-Gómez et al, 2021;Shasha et al, 2020); c) the geographical distribution of authors (Jiménez-García et al, 2020;Pahrudin et al, 2022;Sánchez-Cañizares et al, 2018); and d) the changes in the number of articles related to sustainable tourism over time (Mihalic et al, 2021;Seguí-Amortegui et al, 2019). There is definitely a lack of bibliometric studies on the moral and ethical issues of research on sustainable tourism.…”

The core values of sustainability should be emphasised: economic development, social inclusion, equity as well as diversity, and environmental protection. Those values should be reflected in various characteristics of studies on sustainable tourism. And this is the question we ask in our paper: are the studies of sustainable tourism sustainable? To address that question, we applied a bibliometric analysis of papers published within the last ten years in the Journal of Sustainable Tourism, the most influential scientific journal strictly focused on sustainable tourism issues. The analysis has revealed some doubts related to financial support for the research presented in the papers published, open access to the investigated articles, the differentiation of scientific disciplines whose achievements are presented, the expected methodological triangulation applied in the investigated papers, spatial volatility of case study areas in empirical works presented in the journal and, finally, the Anglo-American domination in the discourse on sustainable tourism.
