Sharing Economy in Tourism and Hospitality Industry: A Bibliometric Analysis
Abstract
Since its inception in 2008, scholarly interest in Sharing Economy concept has resulted in an increase in Scopus-indexed publications. Despite this expansion, there is no bibliometric analysis of this phenomenon using the Scopus database. The aim is to address this gap by conducting a review of the sharing economy. To achieve these objectives, co-authorship analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, bibliographic coupling, and thematic clustering is conducted using the bibliometric tool VOSviewer. This analysis is conducted within the realm of hospitality and tourism journals, with a focus onthe sharing economy, from July 2023 to the present. Four thematic clusters were identified- Motivations for Sharing Economy, Peer-to-Peer Accommodation Market, Financial Aspects of Sharing Economy, and Outcome of Sharing Economy. Based on the findings, various future research avenues are provided to expand the domain.
Keywords - Sharing economy, Tourism, Hospitality, Bibliometric analysis.
