This study provides a bibliometric review on the information technology (IT) related articles published in tourism and hospitality (T&H) journals which are indexed in Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). A database with detailed information was created through the Web of Science (WoS) using 5070 articles from 32 journals. Fre-quency tables of the publications were given and co-occurrence, co-citation, co-authors, and keyword analysis were conducted. Findings indicate that Structural Equation Modelling and Venkatesh’s Unified Theory of Ac-ceptance and Use of Technology was mostly used in studies on IT in T&H. Additionally, some trend topics have been specified according to study findings. This paper gives a deep understanding of IT researches in T&H through bibliometric analysis.

Bu çalışma, Social Science Citation Index'te (SSCI) indekslenen turizm ve otelcilik (T&H) dergilerinde yayınlanan bilgi teknolojisi (BT) ile ilgili makalelerin bibliyometrik bir incelemesini sağlamaktadır. Web of Science (WoS) aracılığıyla 32 dergiden 5070 makale kullanılarak ayrıntılı bilgi içeren bir veritabanı oluşturulmuştur. Yayınların frekans tabloları verilerek birlikte oluşum, ortak alıntılanma, ortak yazarlar ve anahtar kelime analizi yapılmıştır. Bulgular, turizm ve ağırlamada bilgi teknolojileri üzerine yapılan çalışmalarda daha çok Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi ve Venkatesh’in Birleşik Teknoloji Kabulü ve Kullanımı Teorisi’nin kullanıldığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca, çalışma bulgularına göre bazı trend konular belirlenmiştir. Bu makale, bibliyometrik analiz yoluyla turizm ve ağırlamadaki bilgi teknolojileri araştırmalarının derinlemesine anlaşılmasını sağlamaktadır.
