Bibliometric study about sustainable tourism product in Scopus database

Abstract

Sustainability in the tourism sector, environmental conservation, and the benefit of local communities are some of the topics that currently arouse the greatest interest. The objective of this research is to map the scientific production on sustainable tourism products available in the Scopus database. The bibliometric method was used. The information was processed in the Biblioshiny application of the Bibliometrix package of RStudioCloud. Productivity and citation indicators were calculated by years, journals, authors, documents, institutions, and countries. Xavier Font as the most prolific and high-impact author, Sustainability (Switzerland) as the most productive journal, and Tourism Management as the most cited journal were relevant. China is the country with the largest number of publications on the subject. Finally, a content analysis of articles was carried out to identify as research trends the value of environmental certifications, the behavior of the customer segment with environmental priorities, and sustainability and community-based tourism entrepreneurship.
