Özet
Purpose This study aims to map research trends and innovations in tour guiding technologies including robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) alongside an examination of their integration into tour guiding profession. Design/methodology/approach A systematic bibliometric methodology was used, analyzing 205 documents filtered from an initial pool of 1,506 articles. Data were processed and visualized using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny to uncover research patterns, collaborations and thematic clusters. Co-citation analysis, bibliographic coupling and comparative evaluations were used to highlight key research foci and methodologies. Findings The study identifies core research themes, theoretical foundations and emerging trends to provide a comprehensive understanding of the field. The co-citation analysis reveals …
