Abstract

The aim of the study is to reveal the bibliometric profiles of the articles on game theory in the tourism literature within the scope of various parameters. In addition, the other aim is to reveal the current status of the studies on game theory in the Turkish tourism literature and to enable the identification of new research topics. In this study, articles in ScienceDirect and Google Scholar databases where the keywords "game theory and tourism" were used together were analyzed. The national and international literature review lasted until 16.12.2023. The keywords “oyun teorisi ve turizm”, "game theory and tourism" were used in the literature review. In order to determine whether the articles are related to the subject, the abstract and method sections were read and evaluated. As a result of the study, 64 articles were reached. As a result of the bibliometric analysis, it is seen that the first article on the subject was published in 2004. Besides, it was detected that the most studies were published in Tourism Management and Tourism Economics journals. In 2021, it was determined that the number of articles published on the subject was higher.
