ABSTRACT

The horizon of heritage tourism research has been expanding in tandem with the rapidly growing heritage tourism industry. The paper aims to accentuate the innovative concepts, patterns of scientific contribution, and emerging research arena using knowledge domain visualization software—CiteSpace. Analysis of the data set revealed seven active clusters. The sub-areas lately in focus are sustainable tourism activities, integration of heritage in urban planning, and local communities’ perspectives. Future research may be conducted in evolving areas like heritage tourism around volcanic regions, analyzing indigenous people’s psychological constructs towards involvement in heritage tourism, and promoting international festivals in heritage places.

摘要

遗产旅游研究的视野随着遗产旅游业的快速发展而不断扩大。本文旨在使用知识领域可视化软件 CiteSpace 突出创新概念、科学贡献模式和新兴研究领域。对数据集的分析揭示了七个活跃的集群。最近关注的子领域是可持续旅游活动、城市规划中的遗产整合以及当地社区的观点。未来的研究可能会在火山地区周围的遗产旅游等不断发展的领域进行，分析原住民参与遗产旅游的心理结构，以及在遗产地推广国际节日。
