Journal Article
Patterns and trends in event tourism study topics over 30 years
2013
Overview
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate shifts and patterns evident in event studies over the past 30 years. It aims to review events-related academic articles published between 1980 and 2010 in the top three tourism journals.Design methodology approach - By reviewing 178 event-related articles collected from the Annals of Tourism Research, the Journal of Travel Research and Tourism Management, published between 1980 and 2010, a content analysis was carried out in regard to trends in academic writings related to events.Findings - The study found that, even though the number of event studies has dramatically increased since 2000, and subject areas have become more diversified, the focus has still remained on a very limited number of topics.Originality value - The present study will increase awareness among academia and researchers about the characteristics and development of research in event studies; will increase the understating of the meaning of \"event\" in the tourism industry by reviewing event studies published in tourism journals; will be a useful reference guide for academic researchers who contribute to event studies, which is a relatively new area of research; and will extend practical knowledge of the event field.
