A Bibliometric Analysis of Guilt in Tourism: The Influence of Gastronomy on Olive Growing

Gastronomic development caused many destinations to focus on food as a central element of their tourism products. Studies highlight that tourism development in rural areas will depend on various political, economic, and environmental factors, which is why tourism activities such as oleotourism and gastronomic tourism are essential. To understand the relationship between gastronomy and olive growing from a tourism perspective, this study aims to explore scientific production through a bibliometric analysis. These bibliometric analysis goals are to develop a search equation based on the terms “Gastronomy” and “Olive Oil”, to understand the topics’ development. Specifically, analysing the evolution of production and citation, it was understood that oleotourism is prominent and relevant in the database trend map. The authors with the highest relevance have worked on topics such as the effect of spice infusion in olive oil, and Italy and Spain are very relevant in this field of research.
