“…On the other hand, there are articles with low development and centrality, such as those that evaluate different luminosity indicators as attributes to measure the success of potential tourist destinations (C-Sánchez et al, 2019;Kanianska et al, 2020). Additionally, the use of concepts such as stargazing tourism and northern light tourism is an emerging trend that is beginning to develop (Fernández-Hernández et al, 2022;Heimtun & Haug, 2022;Li, 2021).…”

Astrotourism, also known as stellar tourism, involves the development of recreational and educational activities related to the cosmos and astronomical phenomena. This type of special interest tourism focuses on nature, culture, and conservation, and stands out for its exceptional economic, social, and cultural benefits. The aim of the study was to analyze the scientific production on astrotourism based on PRISMA guidelines and a review of the Web of Science and Scopus databases (up to December 2022). The applied methodology consisted of bibliometric analysis and mapping of the literature, carried out using the Bibliometrix program, which found a total of 45 articles in 36 journals. The results revealed a growing scientific production, concentrated in few journals, scattered among multiple authors, and limited thematic diversity divided into twelve clusters, which were classified using the Callon algorithm (niche, motor, basic, and emerging/declining themes). It is concluded that astrotourism is a dynamic and consensual topic of study regarding its regional sustainable development contribution and educational capacity on the heritage and aesthetic value of the skies.

“…Meanwhile, big data analytics can process tourism data and provide new insights into tourism trends, visitor behavior, and preferences (Miah et al, 2017). Thus, the government and tourism actors can be more informed (Burbano et al, 2022;Heimtun & Haug, 2022;Zou & Yu, 2022), and strategic decisions in developing tourism in the Buton Islands (Lawelai et al, 2021). In addition, the use of information technology can also increase government transparency and accountability in tourism development.…”

This research aims to optimize tourism potential in the Buton Islands, Indonesia, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Big Data Analytics. The study addresses the low tourism potential in the region and constraints in tourism development, such as lack of information and data. Qualitative methods include document analysis, literature studies, and focus group discussions. Quantitative methods involve surveying respondents about the use of GIS and Big Data Analytics in tourism development. Data was collected from government documents, online news, and direct observation of tourist sites. The results emphasize the importance of IT and GIS in developing the tourism sector in the Buton Islands, particularly in Baubau City and South Buton Regency. GIS is crucial for identifying and managing tourism potential, while Big Data Analytics helps optimize development by analyzing visitation trends, tourist preferences, and consumer behavior patterns. The integration of these technologies can improve tourist experience and efficiency of tourism-related public services. By integrating GIS, Big Data Analytics, and Information Technology, local government and stakeholders can collaborate to create a superior tourism experience, support local economic growth, and ensure the sustainability of the natural and cultural environment in the Buton Islands.
