Disabilities and Accessible Tourism: Recent Development and Future Directions in Management Studies

This chapter uses bibliometrics and topic modeling to explore the accessible tourism research domain structure and builds on this result to adjust its scope and applications in management fields. Visualization and analysis reveal the theoretical roots, the field’s “invisible colleges,” and research directions. Additionally, topic modeling is used to explore the constructs’ key themes and applications. We find evidence of commonalities and polarizing differences among understandings across this research domain, suggesting opportunities and challenges for future research.
