Abstract

Rural tourism is an essential alternative tourism type with increasing demand in recent years. To better understand rural tourism and to be considered a healthy rural development model, existing knowledge and practices should be revealed. It is also important to analyze research gaps and trends toward updating scientific data and increasing knowledge in this research area to see scientific progress. Therefore, this bibliometric review has examined research progress, trends, and updates in rural tourism. Web of Science database was used to select the publications used in the research, and VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software were used for bibliometric analysis. The results obtained in this bibliometric study reveal that the studies on the subject started to increase after 2000. That sustainability and development issues have been studied intensively in recent years, and that China and Spain are the countries that work most intensively on the subject. In addition, various implications are presented to business and destination managers in the study.

Abstract

Kırsal turizm son yıllarda giderek artan talep ile birlikte önemli bir alternatif turizm türüdür. Kırsal turizmi daha iyi anlamak ve sağlıklı bir kırsal kalkınma modeli olarak ele alabilmek için var olan bilgi ve uygulamaların ortaya konması gerekmektedir. Ayrıca konu ile ilgili bilimsel ilerlemeyi görebilmek için araştırma boşluklarını ve bilimsel verileri güncellemeye ve bu araştırma alanındaki bilgiyi artırmaya yönelik eğilimleri analiz etmek önemlidir. Bu nedenle, bu bibliyometrik inceleme, kırsal turizm alanındaki araştırma ilerlemesini, eğilimleri ve güncellemeleri incelemiştir. Araştırmada kullanılan yayınların seçimi için Web of Science veri tabanı, bibliyometrik inceleme için VOSviewer ve Bibliometrix yazılımları kullanılmıştır. Bu bibliyometrik çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar, konu ile ilgili çalışmaların 2000 yılından sonra artmaya başladığını ve son dönemlerde sürdürülebilirlik ve kalkınma konularının yoğun bir şekilde çalışıldığını ve ülkeler bazında da Çin ve İspanya’nın konu ile ilgili en yoğun çalışan ülkeler olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca çalışmada işletme ve destinasyon yöneticilerine çeşitli çıkarımlar da sunulmaktadır.
