Abstract
In an effort to reveal insights related to the interdisciplinary nature of event-related research, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to assimilate current knowledge from articles published in the Scopus database between 2000 and 2022. We examined publication trends, co-authorship networks, and citation chains, as well as acknowledged contributions from select authors, institutions, and countries to map research trends and trajectories. After article vetting (N=1582 articles), a co-citation analysis of the prior literature identified four major clusters: (1) determinants of consumer decision-making in event tourism, (2) mega sport event legacies, (3) event and tourism experiences, and (4) event content, size, and scope. Finally, a content analysis was performed to reveal the most significant insights about prior research in the event and tourism space.
期刊介绍:
Event Management, an International Journal, intends to meet the research and analytic needs of a rapidly growing profession focused on events. This field has developed in size and impact globally to become a major business with numerous dedicated facilities, and a large-scale generator of tourism. The field encompasses meetings, conventions, festivals, expositions, sport and other special events. Event management is also of considerable importance to government agencies and not-for-profit organizations in a pursuit of a variety of goals, including fund-raising, the fostering of causes, and community development.
