Abstract
The relationship between tourism and climate change has been explored and studied for a considerable amount of time. In the past quarter-century, more specialised research has emerged, and most recently, the subject of adaptation has been highlighted as an essential study requirement in tourism and climate change studies. This study offers a comprehensive literature assessment on climate change and tourism to date. We did a Boolean-based search on Scopus and got 703 records, which were then analysed bibliometrically using the bibliometrix package of R. It covers adaptation issues, the characteristics of vulnerability in a tourism setting, and the ramifications of such research for local communities. This study illustrates the difficulties associated with the interdependence of climate change and tourism by presenting the most relevant authors, countries, key terms, and research fields. In addition to descriptive insights into the field, we provide the conceptual framework (keyword analysis and thematic map). In addition to bibliometrically evaluating the publications, we closely reviewed the sample studies to gain a more comprehensive picture of the literature on climate change and tourism. Our evaluation reveals significant knowledge gaps and offers future research and policy objectives. Our study has suggested multiple research avenues for this topic.
