Research Progress on Border Tourism and Implications for Border Tourism in Xizang:A Bibliometric Analysis Based on WOS and CNKI
Border tourism,as a crucial economic industry in border regions,has consistently garnered extensive attention and research from both international and domestic scholars.This paper utilizes Citespace software to construct a scientific knowledge map of bor-der tourism.Through an analysis of the map,the study conducts a comparative analysis of the research prog-ress in international and domestic border tourism,fo-cusing on research stages,research strengths,and re-search themes.The research findings are as follows:1.The evolution of international border tourism research stages is primarily development-oriented,while domes-tic research is predominantly policy-oriented.2.Both international and domestic research have established several research teams,with core publishing institu-tions in domestically thriving border tourism regions and internationally in countries associated with the"Eu-ropean Union"and"Schengen Agreement."3.There are significant differences in the research themes be-tween international and domestic studies,although both emphasize cross-border tourism cooperation.Fi-nally,based on a comprehensive understanding of the progress in border tourism research,the paper pro-poses insights for the future research and development of Xizang border tourism:deepening the diversified re-search on Xizang border tourism,accelerating the es-tablishment of cross-border tourism cooperation zones,and intensifying attention to safety issues in Xizang bor-der tourism.
