Abstract

Several investigations have evaluated the research trajectory concerning entrepreneurship; nonetheless, only a few studies have examined the literature trajectory regarding entrepreneurship in tourism. Therefore, this research explores papers spanning from 2013 to 2023, mapping thematic, intellectual, and conceptual frameworks using bibliometric techniques. The research delves into scientific output, prolific authors, influential articles, co-occurrence of keywords, co-citations, and many others. The keywords “tourism” OR “travel & tourism” AND “entrepreneurship” OR “entrepreneur” were strategically employed to encompass 514 articles and review papers published in English between 2013 and 2023. VOSviewer was used as a technique for doing topic grouping alongside performance analysis. With 85 articles, 2023 is the most productive year. The most influential institution is “The Hong Kong Polytechnic University” and the nation is the United Kingdom correspondingly. Likewise, the most renowned journal is “Tourism management,” and the most productive journal is “journal of sustainable tourism”. Furthermore, the most cited article is “Scale, change and resilience in community tourism planning.” This research provides researchers with insights into the existing state of research on entrepreneurship in tourism and offers guidance for future research. This study is the inaugural endeavor to present both performance evaluations and scientific clusters of the literature on entrepreneurship in tourism.
