“…Finally, the segment of senior travelers who go on holiday, travel by car and prefer the non-school-holiday periods for travel [26], whilst younger travelers would rather seek for fast driving irrespective the year season and aim at achieving an 'authentic' drive experience [61]. Either way, driving tourists engage in self-drive tourism due to the feelings of safety, adventure and discovery it offered compared with other modes of transport, [13,62], through which, after the pandemic of Covid-19, has become a tourism mode that enable tourists to travel freely [61], by using at its best new vehicles technologies [64], including in caravans [65], according with each ones' economic conditions [66], driving contexts [67] and extant key factors for the successful development of touring routes [68,69].…”

Drive tourism (DT) have become an attractive way of tourist destination for an increasing number of visitors along driving routes. This flow of visitors has made sustainability a major issue that is, the way by which tourism development ensure economic benefits for local communities and preserves local identity, along the route, without compromising the environmental resources. Many studies focused the topic of DT, mainly the analysis of a particular angle, either be economic sustainability, e.g., advantages of the ones related to economic and environment sustainability [e.g., 2,4,5,10], such as the impact of tourists along the route environment. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to the social consequences of DT in the local entrepreneurial environment and ensuing over enhancing of their cultural representativeness in terms of authenticity. Our aim is to summon these points of view and achieve, through a systematic literature review, a clear and integrative picture of the driving tourism impacts in terms of sustainability along the routes throughout local communities. A systematic literature review was performed using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology. This systematic literature review sought to consolidate knowledge on the subject. In order to illustrate the link between major categories and their corresponding trends, authors used VOSviewer scientific software. The gathering of existing knowledge around the three components of sustainability highlighted the importance of community involvement and collaboration among DT stakeholders to ensure a trade-off between the protection and promotion of DT routes. Opportunities for future studies are suggested.

“…Since the outbreak of COVID-19, many scholars have focused their research on domestic tourism. Scholars have conducted quantitative or qualitative researches on new trends such as short-distance travel Wang et al, 2022)，non-contact travel (Bae et al, 2022), self-driving travel (Butler et al, 2021), family travel (Moya Calderon et al, 2022), and rural travel Marques et al, 2022;Vaishar & Stastna, 2022) in domestic tourism, as well as the status of recovery (Arbulu et al, 2021;Provenzano & Volo, 2022), and the way of recovery and effective measures (Quang et al, 2022;Volgger et al, 2021). However, some scholars have also proposed that domestic tourism is possibly a factor in the virus spread especially during the early periods of Covid-19, which means that government policies should restrict residents' non-essential domestic travels to reduce the spreading of the virus (Nunkoo et al, 2022)． Cluster #3 is labeled as crisis management.…”

Through citespace visualization and quantification methods, the analysis of academic research trends in the field of tourism under the COVID-19 situation can analyze the research hotspots in this field, grasp research trends, gain insight into research gaps, and provide ideas for subsequent researchers. This study collects 828 publications about tourism research under the context of COVID-19 from Web of Science Core Collection by topic searching, which use "tourism" AND "COVID-19" as the search terms. Citespace is used for visual exploration of the collected literature since it is more objective and reliable, and the presentation of visual atlas is also more concrete and intuitive. The result indicates that at present, a core author group has not been formed in this research field, most researchers are in the state of independent research. The cooperation between scholars, institutions and countries needs to be strengthened as the density of cooperative network connections is very low. China started research earlier and has various achievements in this field, but the research depth needs to be improved. Existing research hotspots mainly focus on exploring the impact of COVID-19 on the tourism industry, crisis management, satisfaction. In the future, more attention should be paid to "sustainable tourism" and "tourism innovation". Future research could consider expanding the scope of literature sources and incorporating keyword burst analysis.

“…The identified factors are mainly based on the holistic view of destination features; therefore, they do not fully embody the comprehensive idea of multidimensional self-drive attributes. Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic, people tend to travel short distances and drive their own cars to domestic destinations (Wen et al, 2020), therefore, self-drive is considered a timely research topic as it is a preferred mode of transportation that helps minimize contact and ensure personal health safety while traveling (Butler et al, 2021a(Butler et al, , 2021b. The next section addresses the literature on associations between multidimensional attributes of self-drive tourism in travel experience with desirable outcomes.…”

“…In countries where destinations are accessible by road and distances are relatively short, car transport is a popular mode of transportation for citizens and tourists (Connell and Page, 2008; Prideaux and Carson, 2011; Tang et al, 2020). Cars act as agents of connectivity (Lohmann and Duval, 2014), increase volatile mobility (Butler et al, 2021a) and enable visitors and tourists to easily reach rural destinations (Lohmann and Duval, 2014). However, research on car tourism has remained limited since Connell and Page (2008) and Carson and Prideaux (2011) addressed the vitality of car transport in tourism, and considerable number of studies on self-drive tourism have been conducted.…”

This case study aims to provide additional insights into the domestic self-drive market segment. The purpose of this research is threefold. First, the study validates the multidimensional attributes of the car-self-drive experience. Second, this study investigates the effects of self-drive attributes on tourist delight and memorable experience as well as their influence on destination advocacy. Finally, by focusing on different age segments, this study examines the priority of self-drive attributes in relation to importance and performance. An online survey (n = 1260) was conducted via convenience and snowball sampling. Findings indicate four destination attributes and two driving attributes that affect tourist delight as well as two destination attributes and one driving attribute that affect tourists’ memorable experience. The results vary on the basis of age segments. The importance–performance map analysis was further conducted to identify the importance–performance levels of the self-drive attributes. This study provides several contributions to the self-drive tourism industry by complementing previous studies, assembling multidimensional attributes and introducing a new outcome variable. The practical implications of this study also benefit tourism and destination authorities in promoting self-drive tourism to different age groups, particularly in Thailand and in the ASEAN region.
