This bibliometric study provides a systematic and quantitative overview of the research landscape on sustainable tourism in Asia from 2014 to 2025. The results highlight key trends, active research hubs, and dominant thematic focuses within the field. Notably, there has been a clear expansion of research attention toward community engagement, environmental management, and resilience strategies in the context of post-pandemic recovery and global sustainability priorities. The findings suggest that future research should further explore cross-cutting themes such as digital transformation in tourism, climate resilience strategies, and socio-economic inclusivity. Moreover, strengthening international academic collaboration and enhancing policy-research linkages will be essential to advancing sustainable tourism practices and governance models across Asia.
