Tourism is an activity carried out by individuals to
spend their free time having fun and/or resting. It is a fact that they do not
want to worry about anything, especially security. For this reason, the safety
of the destination that tourists will prefer is of primary importance. On the
other hand, the continuity of tourism, which is valuable as a source of foreign
investment and capital, as well as a source of reputation, is very important
for countries. In the literature review, it is seen that this issue, which has
been emphasized for many years, has been discussed from different perspectives.
In this research, it is aimed to present the bibliometric features of
international academic publications that deal with the concepts of tourism and
terrorism together between the years 1995-2022. In this direction, 839 studies
(English articles, compilation articles) were evaluated as a result of scanning
the concepts of "tourism, tourist" and "terror, terrorism"
together from the WOS database. The findings of the study using VOSviewer
software were evaluated by keyword analysis, author, publication, source and
country citation analysis. It is seen that the publications on terrorism and
tourism are mostly discussed together with the issues of perceived risk,
political instability, destination image and security. Although "Tourism
Management" has the highest number of publications in the citation source
analysis, "Annals of Tourism Research" ranks first with the number of
citations and link strength. In the citation source analysis, the highest
number of publications and citations and the link strength belong to the United
States of America. The present study provides a holistic assessment to
contribute to the development of future research directions on terrorism and
tourism.
