Exploring the transformative impacts of smart tourism on global destinations. This study provides a bibliometric analysis of smart tourism research from 2015 to 2023 to offer researchers and academics from across the world with an overview of the trends. A textual query on Scopus database was performed on 17 January 2023 retrieving 191 documents dataset from 2015 to 2023 for in-depth analysis using RStudio and Biblioshiny. According to the findings of the analysis, there is a significant inconsistency of global trends in annual scientific production, with the number of publications increasing and decreasing. China has the highest number of country scientific productions with 137 documents (25.8%), as the most relevant author is Chung N. with 16 documents (2.77%), while the most relevant journal is Sustainability (Switzerland) with 26 documents (15.61%), and the most frequent word is “smart tourism” with 90 frequency (35%). The bibliometric analysis reveals the growth and originality of smart tourism research in recent years. Annual scientific production fluctuates, indicating a dynamic field. Key contributors like China and author Chung N. demonstrate global interest and expertise. The term “smart tourism” underscores the research topic’s significance.
