Abstract

Indigenous tourism is a growing segment worldwide. This paper presents a bibliometric study that analyzes the scientific literature on the field of study of indigenous tourism in international journals between 1990 and 2013. This study is relevant given the growing trend in tourism deploy to enable economic development in indigenous communities, using their territory, culture and history as potential attractions. While parsing published articles central themes such as ecotourism and sustainable tourism were identified as well as peripheral issues such as governance and public tourism policy. Furthermore, this research shows the centrality of the issue of sustainable development in all analyzed articles. The article outlines a research agenda, with indications of gaps and suggestions to encourage research in this field of study and contribute to the sustainable development of indigenous communities.
