AB Tourism and landscape are broad and complex scientific research fields, as is the synergybetween them has given rise to a volume of articles diverse in nature, subject matter and methodology.These di culties mean that, at present, there is no complete theoretical framework to supportthis tourism and landscape research, nor complete knowledge of its structure and organization.This motivates the present work, which constitutes the first attempt at mapping this research topic byapplying bibliometric techniques using VOSviewer and Science Mapping Analysis Software Tool(SciMAT) software. A total of 3340 articles from journals indexed inWeb of Science were analyzed.The results obtained confirm that interest in the study of these concepts has been growing, especiallyin the last decade. The main contribution of this work lies in the identification of work themes thatwere basic to the construction of the field but that are currently in decline, such as “cultural heritage”and other themes important to the field that should continue to be dealt with, such as “national parks”or “geotourism”. The transversal nature of sustainability that appears in the network of keywordsrelated to currently emerging themes, such as “planning” and “environment”, is also highlightedand reinforced.
