Family businesses are of particular economic relevance in the international hospitality
and tourism industry. However, there are few studies that address their specific characteristics and
objectives. The aim of this study is to produce a bibliometric overview that reveals the structure
underpinning the analysis of the tourism family business in the business and management research
field. The study also reveals the evolution of this research over time, as well as the most relevant
related concepts and study gaps. Through a keyword co-occurrence analysis and a systematic review
of 129 studies on tourism family businesses published between 1997 and 2020, the main contributions
were organized into four thematic clusters, which include specific theoretical approaches. The
clusters are Entrepreneurship, Marketing Orientation and Innovation Performance; Capabilities
and Competitiveness; Sustainability; and Strategy and Economic Performance. On the basis of
these results, this study introduces an integrative framework for tourism family business research,
clarifying the rich diversity of research paths that seek to explain tourism business competitiveness,
and identifying potential directions for future research aimed at further developing the field. [-]
