Abstract
ABSTRACT Based on a systematic literature (SLR) and content analysis, this article offers a critical review of customer engagement (CE) research in English and Chinese hospitality and tourism management literature. This article discusses CE research by identifying temporal scope, country of origin distributions, theoretical perspectives and conceptualizations. Research streams of CE are also discussed from the perspective of context, mode and process, antecedents and consequences. The current study suggests that CE is an important research topic in the hospitality and tourism field. There has been a shift from “customer” to “tourist” and “visitor”. CE in hospitality and tourism has been explored both in the context of offline and online. This study provides specific theoretical implications and suggestions for future research.
