Abstract
Purpose – Souvenir research in tourism research has steadily increased, but to date no metric analysis has been published that assesses the main issues addressed to guide and support new research. Design – This study fills this gap through an updated bibliometric review of 282 articles identified in the SCOPUS/WOS databases and an analysis of the future research agenda. Methodology – The PRISMA method and VoSViewer software for a systematic review was applied. Approach – This process allowed research areas identification identify research and it determined the relationships between them, drawing the paths that this scientific subject has taken. Findings – Results reveal a cross-citation-based cluster formation suggesting six main research themes: authenticity; shopping; symbolic value; satisfaction with shopping/ purchase; destination image; tourist experience. Additionally, a ‘future research agenda’ is proposed, organized into five general research pillars on the topic: Food consumption trends, Impacts, Souvenir consumption and value in context, Destination experience, and Technology impact. Originality of the research – Findings are expected to help researchers in the field to build their contributions on existing relevant academic advances, thereby better integrating their efforts into a theory of souvenir research that is still forming and consolidating, including through the Providing promising topics and avenues for future research.
期刊介绍:
Tourism and Hospitality Management is an international, multidisciplinary, open access journal, aiming to promote and enhance research in all fields of the tourism and hospitality industry. It publishes double-blind reviewed papers and encourages an interchange between tourism and hospitality researchers, educators and managers. Editors of Tourism and Hospitality Management strongly promote research integrity and aim to prevent any type of scientific misconduct, such as: fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, redundant publication and authorship problems. All submitted manuscripts are checked using Crossref Similarity Check (iThenticate). Nurturing a scientifically based approach to research, the journal publishes original papers along with empirical research and theoretical articles that contribute to the conceptual development of tourism and hospitality management. Editors look particularly for articles about new trends, challenges and developments, as well as the application of new ideas that are likely to affect the tourism and hospitality industry. The general criteria for the acceptance of articles are: contribution to the scientific knowledge in the field of tourism and hospitality management, scientifically reliable research methodology, relevant literature review and quality of the English language.
