A bibliometric overview of destination management in Asia between 1998-2021 within the scope of stakeholder perspective

Abstract

The aim of this study is to use scientometrics and bibliometrics to merge two terms important for tourism which are destination management and Asia from 1998 to 2021. A total of 973 publications were found that were linked to destination management and Asia. During the analysis, descriptive information, annual scientific production, Bradford’s law, Lodka’s Law, top cited documents, trend topics, word dynamics, country scientific production, collaboration of institutions and countries were applied within the scope of Scientometric. As a result, four basic results are drawn and additional scholarly collaborations may be able to improve the depth of this research. These results were presented within the scope of Stakeholders Theory with the contributions of the authors. As authors adapted 5 elements to the theory, this is believed to fill a gap in the literature.
