Where Does Golf Tourism Go? Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
Öz
The increase in the importance and popularity of sports tourism has led to both a sectoral development and an increase in academic studies. Golf tourism is only one of many branches in the sports tourism category. In this study, 46 studies on golf tourism published in the Web of Science (WoS) database were examined bibliometrically. This study stands out in the literature due to the lack of a bibliometric study in the field of Golf Tourism. With the evaluation of golf tourism studies, we aim to reveal the changes and trends in this field in the last 36 years. Articles published between 1983 and 2020 in the "golf tourism" topic of the WoS database were searched, and the data of the relevant published studies were obtained. The bibliometric scientific mapping method was used to perform the analysis using SciMAT and VOSviewer software. In this paper, the number of publications, publication types, publication languages, citation analysis, author citation numbers, journal citation network, and country collaborations was analyzed. Our research indicates that the number of publications has increased significantly since 2011, suggesting a recently-developing interest in the field. The studies were primarily scientific articles published in the English language. England played a primary role in the country collaborations among authors. Turkey contributed three publications to the literature. The analysis found that the journal with the highest number of citations is Tourism Management. The authors with the highest number of citations were Barros, C., Butler, R., Correia, A. The published studies on the subject of Golf Tourism have strong ties with the themes of “Tourism”, “Marketing”, “Behavior”, “Sustainability” and “Destination”. It is thus concluded that future studies should be conducted on the relationship of golf tourism with the subject of "Management".
