Abstract

This chapter presents a bibliometric analysis of 280 research publications on waste management in the tourism and hospitality industry. Using Bibliometric R and the Web of Science database, this study examined several key factors, including publication and citation trends, author productivity and influence, leading organisations, countries, journals, and common themes in the field. The data show a steady rise in the number of publications and citations over time, reflecting the growing recognition of the importance of waste management in the tourism sector. This increase has been especially noted in recent years and is driven by a broader societal shift toward environmental awareness and the need for sustainable practices. The analysis of author productivity highlights varying levels of impact within the field, with some individuals making particularly significant contributions. Additionally, the study identifies key organizations, countries, and journals essential for advancing research on waste management in tourism.
