Novelty is often depicted as the essence of travelling and is gaining attention in the tourism literature. However, the understanding of novelty is diverse, with multiple theoretical perspectives and a lack of consensus regarding its definition and conceptualisation. This study integrates different theoretical perspectives and presents an extended analysis of the progress of novelty in tourism, both chronologically and thematically. The findings indicate three thematic clusters categorised based on the core of novelty, its antecedents, and consequences, evolving through different time periods. The results show that the core is mostly based on emotional appraisal attributes, is influenced by novelty-seeking personality traits, and can drive consequences including tourist satisfaction, loyalty, and value. Future research can explore an integrated theoretical perspective based on defining novelty in tourism as an attitudinal belief with varying degrees of valence, extremity, and arousal in the evaluative space, which connects novelty to other relevant antecedents and consequences.

新颖性经常被描述为旅行的本质，并在旅游文献中受到关注。然而，对新颖性的理解是多种多样的，有多种理论观点，对其定义和概念化缺乏共识。本研究整合了不同的理论观点，并从时间顺序和主题上对旅游新奇的进展进行了扩展分析。研究结果表明，根据新颖性的核心、其前因和后果分类的三个主题群，在不同的时间段内演变。结果表明，核心主要基于情感评价属性，受求新人格特质的影响，可以驱动包括游客满意度、忠诚度和价值在内的后果。
