<p>Innovation is the cornerstone of a knowledge economy. The triple helix model explains that innovation is created by interactions among academia, government, and industry. On the other hand, knowledge advancement follows the pace of glocalization as academic exchanges take place on both local and global scales. This study integrates the triple helix model and the glocalization theory into a comprehensive model to investigate the development of tourism research in Taiwan. 1,182 Scopus-indexed journal articles on Taiwan tourism are analyzed to determine the characteristics and patterns of these publications under the influences of government, industry, and glocalization on research output. The validity and reliability of the results are ensured by following the PRISMA guidelines for systematic review. The results indicated that Taiwanese government initiatives have spurred the growth of publications and the formation of an academic community in tourism, and the tourism industry determines the relevance of research content. Moreover, glocalization is evident in international journal publications and globally relevant themes despite limited international collaboration. Future development in Taiwan tourism research should focus on enhancing international collaboration and addressing emerging topics like climate change. While limitations are recognized in data scope and bibliometric assumptions, future studies are recommended to use multiple databases and integrating qualitative methods for a broader analysis of the triple helix’s impact and Taiwan’s contribution to global tourism research.</p>
