In terms of the number of documents, 1,720 articles were found on WoS and 2,724 on Scopus. The research also shows the evolution in the number of articles published on this theme, the most influential countries in terms of published articles, the most relevant organisations, and the most prolific authors and journals. It also analyses the most recent research trends, including methodologies of growing interest related to tourist motivation, improved management, pricing policy or the planning of large events. |
