Abstract
Accessible tourism is an expanding field of research that seeks to provide tourists with equal opportunities and experiences in terms of travel, irrespective of their physical, mental, cultural or social capacities. This research aims to determine up-to-date and emerging productivity fields in accessible tourism literature in conjunction with mapping the understanding structure using advanced bibliometric techniques. This article aims to provide a full-scope bibliometric study using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny of 136 Scopus publications from 2004 to 2023, analysing the scientific literature. It assesses the major attributes of the research domain, recognises pivotal papers, institutions, nations, and authors and performs theme mapping and factor analysis of keywords. The study concludes by considering prevailing research themes, and new trends that are needed to advance accessible tourism.
