Abstract

Tourism has been recognized as an essential industry to Islands’ development and growth. Islands’ diversity and uniqueness had posed various challenges and brought them to light in terms of relevance in the industry. However, most of the research in tourism has been more focused on mainland destinations, although there are several researchers studying islands as well. This paper focused on analyzing tourism and hospitality journals indexed in Scopus and belonging to the first and second quartiles within a period of 18 years (from 2000 to 2017). A concept map based on the selected articles was elaborated including the analysis of 13 associated themes, constituting one of the first literature review to map the research that has been conducted within the realm of tourism in islands.
