Research Trends in The Use of Technology in The Tourism: Bibliometric and Content Analysis

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the current trends of the studies within the scope of technology in the tourism sector. Bibliometric mapping analysis was conducted, which included all 611 studies related to 'Tourism and Technology' in academic resources indexed in Web of Science. A total of 203 articles that could be obtained and reached were analyzed by content analysis method. In terms of methodology, it is seen that the majority of the studies were designed in the qualitative method pattern and the questionnaire/survey technique was more preferred in data collection. This research will provide both researchers and practitioners with information about the direction and outcomes of “tourism and technology” studies.
