Forecasted topic growth trends (2025–2030)
| Topic | Topic name | Forecast trend | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Tourist Behaviour and Travel Intention | Sharp Growth | Rising sharply, likely driven by AI, personalisation, and sustainability nudging |
| 1 | Green Practices in the Hotel Industry | Sharp Growth | Tracking Topic 0 closely, operational greening remains highly relevant |
| 2 | Stakeholder Engagement in Sustainable Tourism | Slight Growth | Minimal increase is still relevant, but it is losing novelty |
| 3 | Climate-Oriented Sustainable Tourism Development | Flat | The forecast is a stagnant strategic climate discourse plateauing in tourism research |
| 4 | Carbon Emissions and Energy Management | Gradual Growth | Stable rise driven by global carbon policy and decarbonisation pressure |
| 5 | Sustainability Indicators and Policy Frameworks | Gradual Decline | Unstable, declining older frameworks are being replaced or seen as saturated |
| 6 | Smart Tourism Technologies and Research Trends | Gradual Growth | The slow, steady climb reflects increased tech integration |
| 7 | Ecological Coordination and Spatial Planning | Gradual Decline | The forecast shows a fading academic interest in spatial sustainability planning |
| 8 | Impact of COVID-19 on Tourism Systems | Flat | It peaked in 2020 and is expected to fade completely by 2026 |
| 9 | Disaster Resilience and Risk Management in Tourism | Gradual Decline | Steady declined, and crisis management lost focus post-COVID |
| 10 | Cultural Heritage and Urban Tourism | Stable | Niche and consistency: There is not much change in the forecasted volume |
| 11 | Coastal and Marine Tourism Activities | Stable | Flat projection, steady but low attention, may lack momentum for innovation |
| 12 | Circular Economy in Water and Waste Management | Stable/Slight Growth | Slow growth is emerging as an auxiliary sustainability theme |
| 13 | Rural and Community-Based Agritourism | Stable | Stable interest, often localised in development studies |
| 14 | Sustainability Education in Tourism | Stable | Forecast remains constant, limited to pedagogy-related works |
| 15 | Tourist Willingness to Pay and Destination Choice | Stable | Related to Topic 0, no distinct momentum independently |
| 16 | National Parks and Protected Area Tourism | Sharp Decline | Clear drop, possibly due to fewer fresh angles or low-tech integration |
| 17 | Ecotourism and Geotourism for Conservation | Stable | Niche theme, consistent but without significant forecasted growth |
| 18 | Tourism Modelling and Fuzzy Decision Approaches | Slight Growth | Method-focused potential rebound via innovative decision support systems |
