A Literature Review of Efficiency Issues in Tourism
Abstract
The article analyzes and demonstrates relevant quantitative information on scientific research devoted to the issues of efficiency in the field of tourism in the context of publication periods, journals, authors, citation scores, keyword indexes, methods, and target countries. As a result, the main trends of publication activity were revealed, the leading scientific journals, scientists, countries, the most attractive types of tourism, studied categories of efficiency, developed areas of research, existing methods and features of their use in the study of efficiency issues in the field of tourism were identified. The analysis of variance was used to investigate the relationship between the publication activity of countries in the study of tourism efficiency and the place in the World Economic Forum's travel and tourism competitiveness ranking. It is statistically proved that the publication activity of countries in the study of tourism efficiency is related to their position in the World Economic Forum's travel and tourism competitiveness ranking. “Scopus" scientometric database was used as the information base of the study. At the same time, the authors sorted, calculated and interpreted the data on the studies devoted to the study of tourism efficiency on their own on the basis of a large array of data.
