Abstract
ABSTRACT Expansive data, collected and stored at unprecedentedly granular levels, are transforming the tourism landscape. Big data has received considerable attention in tourism-related research; a growing number of scholars are exploring the latest applications to exploit this resource’s underlying potential. Regular systematic reviews of the field’s progress and academic trends are needed, yet few efforts have addressed the Chinese context. Accordingly, this paper assesses 66 tourism articles featuring big data analytics in past decades and summarizes the literature by data types and research topics. Current trends and future directions are discussed based on the findings.

Journal of China Tourism Research (JCTR) is the official journal of the International Association of China Tourism Studies (IACTS) and is now indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)! JCTR is a truly international journal that publishes the latest research on tourism (all articles printed in English with Chinese abstracts) that relates to China and the Chinese. It provides a rich forum for exchange of fresh information and ideas among academics and practitioners; fosters and enhances cutting-edge research activities that advance the knowledge of tourism; and discusses the relevance of tourism to Chinese society. The journal encourages interdisciplinary scholarship and commentaries, aims at the highest intellectual level, and only publishes manuscripts that make significant contributions to the subject areas.
