“…The bibliometric method reveals the existing gaps and saturated points by classifying conference papers, research articles, research letters, book chapters, and theses of researchers focusing on a topic (Ulker, Ulker 2022). Although this method, which has started to be used frequently with the spread of journals on the internet, seems like a new one, it has actually been on the agenda of researchers for a long time (Ogretmenoglu et al 2022). Broadus (1987, p. 376) defined the concept of bibliometry as, "the quantitative study of physical published units, or bibliographic units, or the surrogates for either.…”

“…The bibliometric method used in this research has also been used in many special subjects in the field of tourism before. Some of the studies prepared by the bibliometric method are as follows: length of stay (Atsiz et al 2022), cycling tourism (Ciascai et al 2022), diaspora tourism (Çiki 2022), wine tourism (Durán-Sánchez et al 2016), tourism journals (Hall 2006;Mulet-Forteza et al 2018;Merigó et al 2019), sports tourism (Jiménez-García et al 2020), smart tourism (Johnson, Samakovlis 2019), tourism studies (Nińerola et al 2019), slow tourism (Oh et al 2016), dark tourism (Ogretmenoglu et al 2022), food and gastronomy research (Okumus et al 2018), etc. The authors used the Web of Science database to generate a dataset on research on film tourism.…”

Although the film tourism literature has grown significantly, no scientific landscape review of the subject has yet been conducted. The current article aims to fill this gap by providing an overview of the film tourism literature through the utilization of bibliometric analysis. To accomplish this objective, the authors utilized a publication dataset on film tourism obtained from the Web of Science database, without applying any publication year criterion. During the compilation of this dataset, certain inclusion criteria were established, such as considering articles published in English and limiting the dataset to articles of the publication type. Consequently, a total of 144 articles focusing on film tourism were included in the sample. The authors conducted the analyses using VOSviewer in December 2022, adhering to the predefined parameters. The first article on film tourism published in WoS was in 2005, and the most articles were published in 2021 (n=17). Upon examining the most cited articles, it was observed that four of them surpassed 150 citations. In terms of authors, it was seen that six authors had more than 200 citations. Four of the top five articles with the highest citations were published in Tourism Management. Australia emerged as the prominent country in the field of film tourism, with Flinders University, an Australian institution, making the most substantial contributions. As a result of the research, some suggestions were presented to the researchers. Future studies may focus on issues such as the effects of the film tourism on local people, destination sustainability, and the potential for new tourism and economic impacts that may occur in the region with film tourism. Furthermore, future bibliometric studies could explore and compare document types and/or film tourism studies acquired from different databases, augmenting the scope of analysis.
