1. A 25-Year Odyssey through Luxury Tourism ResearchAji Sudarsono, Ramiz Ansharil Haq, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: 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.

2. Relevance of Place Attachment towards Sustainability in Tourism : A Bibliometric AnalysisArun Bhatia, Umesh Kumar, Saurabh Kumar, Divyam Sharma, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Sustainability is a core and primary outcome of place attachment studies, an increasingly popular research topic in the tourism industry. It is a significant concern in daily life because of social and environmental issues and the need to preserve legacy and facilities to maintain tourism destinations. In this study, the Scopus database and keywords related to place attachment, sustainability, and tourism were used to identify the papers. The result revealed that 720 papers were found in the Scopus database from 1988 to 2023. After filtering the data, only 448 papers were included for further analysis. In this study, authors use the bibliometrics analysis technique, VOSviewer, and RStudio software to quantify and visualise the existing literature on place attachment and sustainability and evaluate the main overview of the research summary. This study aims to present a bibliometric overview of place attachment towards sustainability in tourism research. The study employed co-occurrence of keywords, most prolific authors, most cited countries, most cited articles, and co-authorship by country analyses. The findings show significant growth in the field of place attachment and sustainability research, including authors, significant journals, research papers, and countries.

8. Analysis of the financial performance in the Slovenian tourism economyTanja Planinc, Štefan Bojnec, Saša Planinc, 2013, original scientific article Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the difference in financial performance of the different tourism economy activities in Slovenia. The analysis was performed for the period 19952009. We analyzed the financial indicators on the basis of the official company accounts data. The nominal financial data are deflated by the statistical deflator for value of inflation in order to obtain real values of financial indicators over the analyzed years. We included financial indicators that are related to the business performance of enterprises in the Slovenian tourism economy. The research hypothesis was tested using quantitative analysis employing nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test of the secondary data used. The empirical analysis confirmed that there are significant differences in financial performance among different tourism economy activities in Slovenia.
