摘要

Authenticity stands as a central research theme in the realm of tourism. It is one of the most invoked concepts for understanding tourist demand, territorial offerings, and destinations. Researchers have scrutinized authenticity from various angles, examining its conceptualization, measurement, and impact. Indeed, it remains one of the oldest and most debated concepts in this field. To unveil its intricate tapestry and underscore its substantial scholarly contributions, this article conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of authenticity within the context of tourism. Leveraging Scopus-indexed journals spanning the period from 1999 to 2023, this analysis employs R-studio software to construct social network structures and furnish descriptive statistics. The findings illuminate authenticity's diverse and interdisciplinary nature, with a corpus of 509 articles authored by 1075 scholars, disseminated across 211 journals, and emanating from 55 countries during the years 1999–2023. While deeply rooted in cultural, social, and environmental dimensions, the analysis identifies four distinct clusters. This study offers a comprehensive synthesis of authenticity in the realm of tourism, providing a roadmap for future research endeavors and accentuating the multifaceted facets of this dynamic field, capturing its evolving priorities.
