Abstract
In recent years, the adventure-seeking behaviour of tourists has increased the consumption of mountain tourism. The research on mountain tourism, however, is fragmented, highlighting the gaps in the current literature. This study uses bibliometric analysis to summarise the literature from 1462 articles published on mountain tourism between 1982 to 2022. The study uses bibliographic data to carry out descriptive and network analysis. The co-authorship network is used to highlight the impactful contributors to mountain tourism research. Further, keyword co-occurrence and bibliographic coupling networks helped in identifying the economic development, nature conservation and preservation, climate change and future of mountain tourism, and tourist satisfaction and marketing as the themes in the mountain tourism research. The content analysis of these clusters delivers insight into past research and suggests research for future avenues. The study offers advantages to the researchers and practitioners by suggesting future research avenues and policy actions.
