ABSTRACT
Recent disruptions such as natural disasters, economic crises, and the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly increased interest in resilience studies. Concurrently, resilience has emerged as a prominent topic within the realm of tourism and hotel management literature. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of articles focusing on resilience across six of the most influential SSCI-indexed tourism journals. A comprehensive review of articles related to the concept of resilience spanning from 1978 to 2024 was undertaken. The database of these journals was searched using keywords such as “Resilience,” “Resilient,” and “Resiliency.” Data retrieval was facilitated through the ZOTERO program, and articles were subsequently ranked based on their frequency using the ATLAS.Ti program. Out of a total of 1522 identified articles, 1395 unique articles were obtained after eliminating duplicates. These data were then transferred to Excel, and 133 articles appearing more than 10 times were selected for further evaluation. These articles were categorized based on the number of keywords, number of publication years, authors, research methodology, capital type, disruption types, resilience level, resilience phases, and posture with findings subjected to bibliometric analysis. Additionally, word cloud analyses were employed using Atlas.Ti for visualization purposes. The findings indicate a surge in the popularity of resilience-related articles in tourism and hospitality literature, largely attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent crises. While conceptual studies and individual-level research abound, there exists a notable gap in quantitative research at the organizational and destination levels. Although many studies have examined resilience in the tourism industry, the number of studies that bibliometrically analyzed resilience in the tourism industry is limited. Therefore, this study will contribute to the determination of scientific production on resilience in the tourism literature and to the understanding and conceptualization of resilience. In future studies, it is recommended that such studies be based on after 2000, when resilience research was concentrated, and conducted in more journals, to expand the literature, and provide clearer conclusions.
