Opis: Considering the unending debates and varied interpretations regarding ecotourists, a structured analysis of the existing literature is essential. This study employs a two stage sequential review process, integrating bibliometric analysis with a systematic literature review using qualitative content analysis. Data were extracted from the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases, analysed quantitatively using RStudio’s bibliometrix package, and further reviewed qualitatively using the Theory, Context, and Methodology (TCM) framework. Findings indicate that the term ‘ecotourist’ gained prominence in academic discourse in the early 1990s, underscoring a conceptual gap in the initial ecotourism literature, which tended to focus on principles, impacts, and implementation of tourism rather than on the tourists engaging in it. Over time, research on ecotourists evolved from basic demographic profiling to in-depth investigations into psychographic and behavioural aspects. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) emerged as the predominant theoretical framework among the most influential publications, with four major themes having dominated the most-cited academic works: (1) the nature of ecotourists and their existence within the ecotourism context, (2) the impacts of ecotourist activities, (3) ecotourist segmentation, and (4) the cognitive-normative profiles of ecotourists. This study contributes to the existing literature by tracing the evolution of ecotourist research, identifying key conceptual frameworks, and synthesising central themes. Addition ally, it offers researchers and practitioners a structured overview of ecotourist-related literature, providing direction for future research avenues and practical insights for marketing, policy, and management strategies in ecotourism.

Opis: This study conducts a bibliometric and systematic literature review (SLR) of luxury tourism research, analysing 72 Scopus-indexed articles from 2000 to 2025. The findings reveal a growing interest in luxury tourism, with publication peaks in 2024 (14 articles) and notable growth between 2022 and 2023. Italy leads in research output (8 articles), followed by the UK, New Zealand, and China (7 each), while developing nations like Indonesia remain underrepresented. Thematic analysis identifies key clusters, including socio-economic impacts, luxury consumer behaviour, and sustainability in hospitality. Research predominantly employs qualitative methodology (38 studies) as the primary data collection tool. Emerging trends emphasize digitalization, sustainability, and experiential luxury tourism, with increasing use of AI, machine learning, and social media analytics. The study highlights the multidisciplinary nature of luxury tourism, intersecting with business, social sciences, and environmental studies. Mixed-method approaches are gaining traction, blending qualitative depth with quantitative generalizability. Key challenges include balancing luxury tourism’s economic benefits with sustainability and addressing infrastructural gaps in emerging destinations. The VOSviewer analysis underscores global research collaborations, with Europe and Asia as dominant contributors. Practical implications suggest that stakeholders should prioritize sustainable practices, digital marketing, and personalized experiences to cater to luxury tourists. Future research should explore developing markets, cultural influences, and policy impacts to enrich the global understanding of luxury tourism dynamics.
