Abstract

This study aims to analyse tourism and disability research from a longitudinal perspective (2000–2019). One hundred and five seminal articles from the Scopus database were systematically selected and bibliometrically analysed. The state-of-the-art tool – bibliometrix was used to analyse and visualize tourism and disability research. The main analysis was divided into four sub-analyses (descriptive analysis, reference publication year spectroscopy, network analysis, and co-word analysis) to comprehensively demonstrate the trends and patterns, historical origin, and intellectual and conceptual structure in disability and tourism research. Findings indicate that although the publications related to tourism and disability have significantly increased, it is mostly dominated by few contributors. The proposed study provides a powerful insight into tourism and disability research for theoretical and practical developments.
