Exploring the Tourism Sustainability Knowledge Network Through Bibliometric Analysis and a Computational Literature Review

ABSTRACT This research conducts an in‐depth review of the literature on sustainability and tourism, using an innovative methodology that combines bibliometric analysis with advanced computational literature review techniques, specifically topic modeling. Through an analysis of 9449 studies, we provide an updated, comprehensive, and detailed overview of the knowledge network in the field. We identify key and predominant themes and areas of research, as well as highlight emerging and declining trends, supported with statistical analysis. Our findings reveal that six emerging themes have gained significant traction in recent years: Environmental behavior and tourist attitudes; Massification and tourist mobility in cities; Tourism resilience in the face of the covid‐19 pandemic; Gastronomic, wine, and religious tourism; Water management in tourism; Gender empowerment and entrepreneurship in tourism.
