ウェルネスツーリズムにおける 研究動向の文献レビュー（2009-2024.7）に関する計量書誌学的分析

抄録

This study aims to analyze the research status and futurity of Wellness Tourism. A Bibliometric Analysis was conducted on themes and content derived from published research （from 2009 to 2024.7） listed in the Web of Science （WOS） database service. The results indicate a consistent upward trend in published research papers related to Wellness Tourism, with China having the highest number of publications and extensive international cooperation. The majority of publications originate from Asian countries. At the same time, we know that research on wellness tourism in Japan still needs to be enhanced. Keyword Co-occurrence Analysis reveals that “Wellness Tourism” serves as the central keyword, accompanied by other significant terms such as “health”, “tourism”, “satisfaction”, “destination”, “health tourism”, and “quality of life”. Term Cluster Analysis identifies three clusters: “Tourist Demand”, “Tourist Destination Supply”, and “Tourist Behavior Intention”, each generating related main terms. Term Burst Analysis highlights current research hotspots and provides insights into future research directions, focusing on “Wellness Destination” and “Wellness Tourism Experience”. Overall, Keyword Co-occurrence Analysis, Term Cluster Analysis, and Term Burst Analysis yield consistent results indicating that key research topics in Wellness Tourism include tourist demand, behavioral intention, and tourism destination supply. Further studies are needed in these areas.
