Abstract

The responsible tourism and hospitality (RTH) literature has been growing, as evidenced by the increasing number of published articles. In this study, we synthesize the current knowledge of RTH research. Through co-citation and content analyses, we map the intellectual structure of the tourism and hospitality literature from various perspectives, including sustainable tourism, consumer behavior, and environmental management, while identifying overarching themes, citations, and researchers. We aim to help academics and practitioners increase their understanding of RTH and provide directions for future research.
