description Sustainability in tourism has become one of the concerns of the travel industry. More research is required to establish a scientific basis for Sustainable Tourism (ST). In order to develop the field structure on sustainable tourism from 2013 to 2023, the study examines the existing situation using bibliometric analysis. The ‘Scopus’ database was explored on the ‘sustainable tourism’ theme in order to achieve the goal. The original search yielded a total of 701 papers, which were subsequently filtered to 619 documents. For the articles relating to ST, the most cited papers, significant authors, co-citation of references, and sources were all looked into. This study found that research into sustainable tourism has grown recently. Three research with 1512 citations were found by the authors, and they also found two publications with over 500 ‘Scopus’ citations. The study highlights the gap and identifies the conceptual sub-domains, such as biodiversity, economic, environmental issues, and local community engagement, which might be crucial in subsequent studies.
