This paper aims at identifying the state of academic research on the influence of Internet on tourism consumer behaviour. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Methodology was used to select the data and the analysis was complemented with bibliometric indicators. This research identified 83 relevant articles related to the influence of Internet on tourism consumer behaviour. The systematic review of the academic literature demonstrated that the Internet influences tourism consumer behaviour during the entire travel cycle stages. During the pre-consumption stage, motivations and decision-making process are highly influenced by several online sources. However, in the case of expectations, limited research was found on this area. Value co-creation behaviour is influenced by Internet during the final two stages of the travel cycle stages. Finally, evidence suggests that loyalty is influenced during the consumption and post-consumption stages. These results provide a categorized analysis of the influence of Internet on the behavioural variables during each of the travel cycle stages for academicians and practitioners. The analysis was conducted on two major academic databases: Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus. The inclusion of other data sources and other types of secondary data could complement these results

This study aims to investigate, through a social network analysis, the attributes and representativeness of Circular Economy (CE) and Tourism in the state-of-the-art of scientific production published in the Web of Science from 2017 to 2020. The results indicate a dispersion in all collaboration networks due to the low incidence of studies published internationally on both subjects. The most publicized matters were agritourism, sustainable development, sustainability, waste, tourist practices, environmental impacts, greenhouse gases, innovation, and hospitality. The study concludes with a contemporary view and brings to light data, information, and state-of-the-art knowledge through bibliometric indicators and social networks. It contributes to a better understanding of how those subjects were approached and disseminated at the global level by actors involved in building scientific knowledge, through their collaboration networks-which are preponderant to improve and strengthen such understanding-and through the dissemination and socialization of knowledge on the subjects assessed in this study. In short, the results contribute to position CE and Tourism research in the academic general debate and help minimize potential deficiencies and blind spots related to them.

We investigated the set of Brazilian tourism journals, specifically 3,887 articles published in 16 journals, from 1990 to 2018. The three main objectives of this study are: a) to rank authors, institutions, and countries in the field of tourism studies in Brazil, using productivity, centrality, and impact metrics, for 1990-1999, 1990-2009, and 1990-2018; b) to characterize the leading elements – i.e. top-ranked ones; and c) to compare these rankings with h-index based rankings. A bibliometric and social network study was carried out, with manual data collection and revision and disambiguation. Productivity (full and fractional counting), centrality (degree, betweenness, and PageRank), and impact (based on actual citations) metrics were calculated. In summary, the leading authors are affiliated with institutions in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, and they are linked to graduate programs. For institutions, offering a graduate program in tourism or in a related field seems to be a key factor. The University of Sao Paulo (USP) and the University of Vale do Itaja(UNIVALI) clearly stand out in all metrics. Brazil occupies the first position in productivity, centrality, and impact, followed by Spain.

We study the field of tourism in Brazil, taken as the individuals who, in their curriculum Lattes, declare they work in this field. The main objectives are to characterize these individuals, to verify the main institutions of academic formation and work, and to identify the main scientific journals. We used methods of bibliometric analysis and of social networks analysis. The results indicate the existence of a fragmented and not yet mature field of knowledge.

Sustainability, entrepreneurship and tourism, destination and hospitality research have attracted scholars’ attention for their relevance in bringing to fruition a future that links economic well-being with the environmental, cultural, and social sustainability of human beings. This article provides a bibliometric overview of the academic research where these topics intersect. To accomplish this, various bibliometric methods are implemented, which include a performance analysis and graphic mapping of the academic production in this specific topic. This research uses the Web of Science database to identify and classify the most preponderant investigations in the field and considers articles, authors, institutions, countries, and journals. To complete the performance analysis, a series of indicators, such as number of papers and number of citations, are used. Graphic visualization maps are produced using the co-citation and co-occurrence of keywords under the Visualization of Similarities—VOSviewer—software. The results show a growing concern for entrepreneurship in sustainable tourism development research, which is evidenced in the increasing number of studies during the last decade. Some influential research institutions and authors from countries including the USA, New Zealand, and Norway are found to be influential leaders in this topic. Additionally, the results show that journals from the area of hospitality, leisure, sport, and tourism are frontrunners in this subject.
