- Abstract
- Island tourism is currently showing a thriving development trend, as the demand for vacation and leisure travel continues to increase, making island tourism a popular choice. This study aims to a systematic review focusing on quantitative analysis current research on island tourism using the Web of Science citation database. The research covers 32 years and visualizes keyword co-occurrence, clustering, publication years, etc., through software to obtain a knowledge map of authors, disciplines involved, and more. Additionally, a detailed analysis of the current status of domestic and international island tourism is conducted through knowledge maps such as keyword co-occurrence and clustering. The study found that there are fragmentation issues in island tourism research, with a lack of systematic frameworks and guiding mechanisms. Current research mainly focuses on aspects such as island tourism resources and environments, tourist relationships, and island residents’ perceptions, but lacks the construction of a framework for sustainable development of island tourism on a comparative basis. The results of this study will help reveal the hotspots and trends in island tourism research, providing important references for the academic community and tourism industry, and promoting further development and research in the field of island tourism.
