Abstract

In recent years, destination social responsibility (DSR) has increasingly attracted researchers in the field of tourism. The study was conducted based on statistical procedures and reviewed articles published in Scopus and WoS indexed journals. The Endnote software was used to exclude duplicate results and Bibliometrix software was used to determine DSR research trends. The results show that studies related to DSR were published from 2013 to 2022 and the results of the article have clarified issues of DSR with responsible behaviors of stakeholders such as visitors, residents, destination management organizations and tourism service providers. In addition, this research also contributes to theoretical values, problem approaches, and research contents in DSR. The research also contributes to providing directions for DSR studies in the future that are relevant to the domestic context.
