Bibliometric Analysis of Post Covid-19 Management Strategies and Policies in Hospitality and Tourism

Abstract

The strategic perspective of management policies gained utmost importance during the post-Covid era. The researchers are trying to introduce strategies that can help organizations cope with post-crisis destruction. Yet, the research on the topic is fragmented, mainly related to the hospitality and tourism industry. This manuscript aims to present scholarly research findings dealing with the post-Covid-19 management strategies in the hospitality and tourism industry from January 1, 2020, to July 28, 2021. These strategies can play an essential role in the survival and growth of the sectors. The study identified and acknowledged the core contributing authors, journals, countries, affiliation, corresponding authors through bibliometric, citation, and keyword analysis. It also conducted the co-occurrence analysis and reported three significant research streams and bibliometric coupling to identify four research themes for management strategies of the tourism and hospitality industry in the post-Covid era. With the help of an influential and conceptual framework, the study highlights the future challenges managers could face and suggests the possible area for reviewing and revising the existing policies by proposing future directions. Consequently, this study contributes to the current literature on post-Covid-19 management strategies and policies by developing the critical analysis of the extant literature and highlighting the understudy areas that future studies must explore to expand the scope of the research.

“…This was natural, since the term COVID-19 (and synonymous keywords that were grouped under this term) directly characterized the field of research. Literature review revealed that most bibliometric studies on COVID-19 (Alshater et al, 2021;Gan et al, 2021;Handoko, 2021;Islam et al, 2021;Khan et al, 2021;Utkarsh and Sigala, 2021;Okolie and Ogundeji, 2022;Singh and Verma, 2022) included COVID-19 or related keywords in co-word network maps. Furthermore, certain bibliometric studies (Nagy et al, 2021;Boonroungrut et al, 2022, Zhang et al, 2022 suggested that highly repeated general terms in co-word analysis does not have a meaning since they represent the entire field of research.…”

“…Thus, science mapping should be employed to visualize the interactions between the scientific items (authors, studies, journals, institutions, countries, concepts, citations) in the field, creating a map of the relevant literature (Block and Fisch, 2020). The review of social sciences literature would reveal that significant bibliometric studies were conducted on COVID-19 in the fields of economics (Mahi, Mobin, Habib and Akter, 2021;Nagy et al, 2021), business and management (Verma and Gustafsson, 2020), accommodation, leisure, sports and tourism (Andersson, Jansson, Karlén and Radmann , 2021;Khan, Nasir and Saleem, 2021;Utkarsh and Sigala, 2021), media and communication (Gan, Yaacob and Latif, 2021), and education (Karakose and Demirkol, 2021;Boonroungrut, Saroinsong and Thamdee, 2022;Zhang, Carter, Qian, Yang, Rujimora and Wen, 2022). Although Singh and Verma (2022) conducted a bibliometric review that included studies published in social sciences literature during the first six months of the pandemic, no sociological bibliometric study has been conducted specifically on COVID-19.…”

Visualizing Research Trends on Culture Neuroscience (2008–2021): A Bibliometric Analysis

“…Bibliometric analysis has been used in many disciplines to date, including psychology. For example, Khan et al (2021) conducted a quantitative analysis of articles on tourism and hospitality management strategies in the post-pandemic era. The results showed that relevant management strategies play an important role in helping managers respond to the survival and development of the post-crisis hotel and tourism industry.…”

“…This pandemic outbreak also had a significant adverse effect on the organization’s day-to-day processes. Organizations have implemented various tactics to survive this pandemic ( Khan et al, 2021a ). Many organizations are entirely out of the game, while some work online, providing vital services to the people impacted by the pandemic ( Asghar et al, 2021 ).…”
