“…Research on the development of halal tourism through bibliometrics has been carried out by many researchers, including Hidayat et al (2021), Das et al (2023), Supardin et al (2023), andSuban et al (2023). These studies explain that research related to halal tourism is still relatively rare in countries/locations where the majority of the population is Muslim and non-Muslim.…”

This research highlights the theoretical basis and future research directions in religious tourism and related topics from 2003 to 2023. 1,689 documents from the Scopus database related to religious tourism and the Umrah Hajj have been analyzed using VOS viewer software. This analysis found that research on religious tourism and the Umrah pilgrimage experienced a consistent increase. The most influential countries in the research were Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, France, and Australia. Studies on Umrah mass gathering, respiratory viruses, preventive measures, and pilgrimage season in Hajj and Umrah religious tourism are predicted to be a significant research focus, as can be seen through keyword co-occurrence analysis. The results of this study provide a comprehensive evaluation of the religious tourism literature over a decade using bibliometric and network analysis. The results of this research can help researchers gain a deeper understanding of the study of religious tourism as a whole and determine priorities for future research.

Purpose The Arab world has witnessed a remarkable surge in the growth of its tourism and hospitality (T&H) industry, positioning it as a vital cornerstone for sustainable development. However, an exclusive bibliometric analysis of T&H research contributed by the Arab world has not yet been conducted in the past 30 years, that is, 1993–2022. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a first-of-its-kind bibliometric assessment and visualization of T&H research produced by the Arab world spanning from 1993 to 2022. Design/methodology/approach A comprehensive collection of 1,327 scientific publications related to T&H research contributed by the Arab world was acquired from the Web of Science Core Collection database. To perform a large-scale bibliometric analysis, encompassing performance analysis, science mapping and network analysis, this study used state-of-the-art analytical tools, namely, Bibliometrix package of R Studio and VOSviewer. Findings The findings of this study show that the Arab world’s research on T&H has significantly surged since COVID-19, contributing nearly half (50.56%) of the total literature in the T&H domain between 2020 and 2022. Elshaer IA (Suez Canal University, Egypt) emerged as the most productive author, while Nusair K (Sultan Qaboos University, Oman) was identified as the most impactful author in the T&H domain in the Arab world. The most productive journal was found to be Sustainability (MDPI), while Tourism Management (Elsevier) was identified as the most impactful journal in the field of T&H. Furthermore, the thematic analysis highlights that research themes in T&H are not static but rather constantly evolving in response to dynamic changes in the industry, such as emerging trends, shifts in tourist preferences and the impact of global events like the COVID-19 pandemic. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first bibliometric analysis of T&H research contributed by the Arab world, specifically covering the period from 1993 to 2022. This study's findings can inform the development of strategies and policies for the sustainable and competitive growth of the T&H industry in the Arab world. This study highlights the importance of continued research and collaboration among industry professionals, academics and policymakers to promote innovation and drive positive change in the T&H sector in the Arab world.
