The literature about quality has experienced an important expansion in the tourism sector
in the last decade. This is a result of the importance of quality issues when attempting to maintain
and expand sustainable business models for tourism organizations and destinations, which are
critical to strengthen competitiveness in the new framework. This relevance has been reflected in
the tourism literature, with numerous papers focusing on the topic of quality. Nevertheless, despite
its importance, there is a lack of studies and reviews of this literature. In order to overcome this
problem, this paper develops a bibliometric and visualization analysis of the literature that examines
the topics of tourism and quality together. Specifically, the article studies the 4625 documents on
this issue published until the end of 2018 in theWeb of Science Core Collection database, by using
the co-occurrence of keywords, co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and co-authorship analyses.
In addition, the VOSviewer program was used to map the diverse clusters or relationships among
the literature. The results showed the trends and impact of this literature, and also the main papers,
authors, journals, institutions, and even countries that focus on tourism and quality aspects together.
They are useful for researchers and practitioners when dealing with this topic, in order to better
understand the situation of this issue and its development. [-]
