Bibliometric analysis of scientific literature on community-based tourism from 2013 to 2018

Abstract Community-Based Tourism (CBT) is a proposal for planning and developing localities through tourism, based on sustainability and sustainable development concepts, promoting the social emancipation of communities through the population’s leading role in self-management of their goods, services, and social capital, in order to improve residents’ quality of life and the conservation of environmental, historical and cultural heritage. In order to understand the scientific literature that has gained prominence since 1990, and to identify possible gaps in the subject, this article brings together an Integrative Literature Review (ILR) and a Bibliometric Study (BS) of a sample of 158 articles in Portuguese, Spanish, and English published in 64 journals. The study fulfilled the three main bibliometrics laws: Lotka, Bradford, and Zipf, indicating the CBT as an expanding and pulverized production subject. Finally, the summary of knowledge identified as possible theoretical gaps: governance and marketing.
