Abstract

The purpose of the study is to reveal the retrospective nature of winter tourism investigations in social sciences, determine global trends sophisticatedly, and become a potential guide for future researches. With the VOSviewer program, 278 studies on winter tourism in the Web of Science (WOS) database between 1988 and 2020 were analyzed bibliometrically. According to the results of the research, it was determined that the most productive countries in winter tourism are Austria, the USA, and Norway respectively and Europe is the leading region in this area. Likewise, it was also concluded that the most co-occurrence keyword is climate change. While the research provides systematic information for researchers due to its bibliometric structure in a theoretical context, it has been concluded that global warming should be a concern not only for researchers but also for local governments and destination policy makers. The paper is limited only to winter tourism studies in the field of Social Sciences between 1988 and 2020 from the WOS database. It is thought that the research will make significant contributions to researchers, local governments, destination policy makers and hotel managers.

Özet

Çalışmanın amacı, sosyal bilimlerde kış turizmi araştırmalarının geriye dönük doğasını ortaya çıkarmak, küresel eğilimleri çok yönlü bir şekilde belirlemek ve gelecekte araştırmalar için potansiyel bir rehber olmasıdır. VOSviewer programı ile 1988 ve 2020 yılları arasında Web of Science (WOS) veri tabanındaki kış turizmi üzerine yapılan 278 çalışma bibliyometrik olarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucuna göre kış turizmi konusunda en üretken ülkelerin sırasıyla Avusturya, ABD ve Norveç olduğu ve Avrupa’nın bu konuda lider bölge olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca iklim değişikliği en çok tekrarlanan anahtar kelime olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma teorik bağlamda bibliyometrik yapıda olması nedeniyle araştırmacılar için sistematik bilgi sağlarken yönetimsel bağlamda küresel ısınmanın sadece araştırmacılar için değil aynı zaman da yerel yönetimler ve destinasyon politika yapıcıları için endişe kaynağı olması gerektiği şeklinde çıkarımlara ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma, yalnızca WOS veri tabanından 1988 ve 2020 yılları arasında Sosyal Bilimler alanında kış turizmi çalışmaları ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Araştırmanın araştırmacılar, yerel yönetimler, destinasyon politika yapıcıları ve otel yöneticilere önemli katkılar vereceği düşülmektedir.
