"The relationship between creative tourism and local development: a bibliometric approach for the period 2009-2019"

Abstract

The aim of this investigation is to identify the relationship which can be found in the literature between creative tourism and local development, using a bibliometric inventory made in scientific databases (Academia.edu, Econlit, Google Scholar, CAPES Journals, Redalyc, Scielo.org, SCOPUS, and Web of Science, among others) as research method. In general, it was possible to verify that there is a concern of the authors of the papers analysed in establishing a link between creative tourism and local/regional development, without, however, going very far on this relationship, or, at least, when it came to identifying the impacts of economic, cultural, social and environmental nature. This being said, it seems to be relevant that future research takes a deeper look at the hypothesized relationship between the proposals of creative tourism and the benefits it can bring to local communities.

Keywords: Creative Tourism, Resources and Traditions of Territories, Unique and Authentic Tourist Experiences, Tourism Impacts on Local Communities, Local/Regional Development.
