Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze scientific trends on religious tourism in Indonesia through a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis using the VOSviewer. Based on the data search results using the keywords "religious tourism" and "Indonesia" for publications from 2018 to 2022, after data filtering, a total of 566 articles were obtained. The data search results for the last five years show that publications in the field of religious tourism in Indonesia increased from 2018 to 2020, but there was a decline since then. The development of publications in the field of religious tourism in Indonesia from 2018 to 2020 saw an increase, but since 2021, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a decrease in publications. From the network visualization results, it was revealed that each cluster contains dominant topics linked to several items in other clusters. Meanwhile, the overlay visualization results showed that topics about "tomb" and "historical tourism" are new research topics, while "tourism object" and "natural tourism" are topics that have been researched for a long time. The density visualization results also revealed that topics such as sharia tourism, historical tourism, and religious tourism village are topics with low density and intensity, thus providing opportunities to be explored as research topics.
 Keywords: religious tourism, systematic literature review, bibliometrics
