The Gender Approach in Tourism Research: A Bibliometric Review of the 2010–2021 Period

This study undertakes a bibliometric analysis of gender and tourism research from 2010 to 2021, aiming to evaluate the recent advancements in this field. A total of 2738 articles were examined using Web of Science and Scopus databases. Our findings reveal a positive growth in the number of publications addressing the intersection of gender and tourism. However, our analysis highlights that gender still occupies a peripheral position in major tourism scientific journals. Beyond these statistical observations, the paper emphasises the limited progress made in utilising gender as a conceptual category in the production of knowledge over the past decade and proposes potential pathways for future advancements in this area.
