国际低碳旅游研究态势--基于Web of Science的文献计量分析

International Low Carbon Tourism Research Trends--A Bibliometric Analysis Based on Web of Science

研究目的:低碳旅游的良性渐进发展为全球旅游业的可持续发展提供了借鉴经验,近年来已成为旅游领域的热点议题。研究方法:基于Web of Science(WOS)核心合集数据库,运用Bibliometrix文献计量软件总结2000-2023年国际低碳旅游研究领域的发展概况与主题1演变趋势,并对近6年(2018-2023年)的热点主题进行分析。研究结果:①低碳旅游研究数量显著增加,学术关注度不断升高,可分为芽发展期(2000-2007年)、初步发展期(2008-2013年)、波动发展期(2014-2017年)、快速发展期(2018-2023年)四个研究阶段,并且在近6年呈现出提质发展的研究态势;②发达国家是国际低碳旅游领域的研究主力,而中国是此领域研究中发挥重要作用的唯一发展中国家;③国际低碳旅游研究主题具有多元化的发展趋势,尤其是进入快速发展阶段以来,研究主题逐步国际环保热点相衔接;④近6年国际低碳旅游的热点主题包括影响、旅游、气候变化以及二氧化碳排放。研究启示:①重视低碳旅游在推动旅游业可持续发展进程中的重要意义;②采取针对性措施充分发挥低碳旅游的经济与生态效益;③创新性探索低碳旅游发展的技术路径;④推动传统旅游地实现低碳、绿色化转型。

Research Purpose The benign and progressive development of low-carbon tourism provides a reference experience for the sustainable development of global tourism and has become a hot topic in the field of tourism in recent years.Research Methodology Based on the Web of Science(WOS)core ensemble database,Bibliometrix software was used to summarise the development overview and the trend of theme evolution in the field of international low-carbon tourism research from 2000 to 2023 and to analyze the hot topics in the last six years(2018-2023).Findings The results show that①the number of low-carbon tourism research has increased significantly,and the academic attention has been rising,which can be divided into four research phases:bud development period(2000-2007),preliminary development period(2008-2013),fluctuating development period(2014-2017),and rapid development period(2018-2023),and it has shown a research trend of quality enhancement and development in the last six years.②Developed countries are the main research force in the field of international low-carbon tourism,while China is the only developing country that plays an important role in this field of research.③The theme of international low-carbon tourism research has a diversified development trend,especially since it has entered the rapid development stage,and the research theme is gradually connected with the international environmental protection hotspots.④The hot topics of international low-carbon tourism in the past six years include impact,tourism,climate change and carbon dioxide emissions.Research Implications Based on the conclusions of the above study,the following four insights are obtained:①to pay attention to the importance of low-carbon tourism in promoting the sustainable development of tourism;②to take targeted measures to give full play to the economic and ecological benefits of low-carbon tourism;③to innovatively explore the technological path for the development of low-carbon tourism;④and to promote the transformation of the traditional tourist destinations to realise a low-carbon and green transformation.
