Abstract

Co-creation of tourism experiences has emerged as a prominent topic, as tourists increasingly seek to participate in the creation of personalized and interactive experiences. The aim of this study is to analyze publication trends on co-creation in the tourism sector through three key dimensions: temporal, spatial, and thematic. The research methodology employed is bibliometric analysis, based on 514 scientific publications sourced from the Scopus database. The findings reveal three major trends: (1) a significant increase in the number of studies in recent years; (2) a concentration of research originating from developed countries, where tourism innovation and co-creation models are more prevalent; and (3) dominant themes including cultural and heritage tourism, tourist destinations, technology and innovation, as well as tourism markets and stakeholders. Based on these findings, several potential research directions are proposed.
