“…In several cases, researchers from foreign institutions were found, such as Nobukazu Nagakoshi (L. Hakim & Nagakoshi, 2008), David Reeve (Valeriani et al, 2020), Guillaume Tiberghien (Ristiawan & Tiberghien, 2021), and Kumiko Shishido (Sadguna et al, 2020), or where the member researchers are from different international institutions from the first researcher, such as the Hess et al, (2021) article, both of which were ignored, because the data collection only refers to the identity of the first researcher. Twenty-five international researchers were recorded from 15 countries: United States (Acharya, 2021), Australia (Ayoub, 2020;Prideaux & Tao, 2005;Zeng, 2005), Bangladesh (Bhuiyan & Ismail, 2018), Netherlands (Rindrasih, 2015), Bulgaria (Slavov & Palupi, 2019), Ethiopia (Eshete et al, 2020), Philippines (Abansi, 2012;Arreza & Esguerra, 2021;Era & Rosario, 2020;Espiritu & Guevarra, 2015;Luna, 2021), India (De, 2012;Dey, 2013;Vinodan, 2010), United Kingdom (Hess et al, 2021), Italy (Brida, 2008), South Korea (Anele & Sam-Otuonye, 2021), Egypt (Abdou et al, 2020), France (Loustaunau, 2018), Romania (Voda et al, 2019), and Thailand (Chaichompoo, 2011;Songkhla & Somboonsuke, 2012;Southiseng & Walsh, 2010). The authors noticed that the tendency of international scholars to publish their studies in national tourism journals is indicated to have increased in recent years.…”
