Abstract:

Academic research in the field of tourism education, which includes applied education and training content, has attracted the attention of researchers, especially in recent years, thanks to pandemics, extraordinary situations, and popular education models. The provision of tourism education through its incorporation into online learning platforms has been regarded as a novel study area. Accordingly, it is important to present a systematic analysis of these studies, and it also allows the examination of pioneering and original studies in research areas, revealing the current situation of the research area and making predictions about qualified research for the future. In this study, the framework of systematic parameters has been used to assess studies on online learning in the field of tourism. All previously published studies on online learning and tourism make up the research population. The data, however, is restricted to studies that are listed in the Web of Science database. Within the scope of the research, 207 articles were accessed by searching the Web of Science database with the concepts of "tourism" and "online learning". These articles were analysed according to criteria such as year, journal, keyword work type, and title. According to the findings, the most articles on tourism and online learning were published in 2022 and in the Journal of Hospitality, Leisure, Sport and Tourism Education. Suggestions for future research topics have been developed for the findings obtained.
