Abstract: This study conducts a literature analysis on integrating tourism development into urban planning to understand the current state of research in the field and identify potential areas for future study. The analysis, based on 11,134 articles published between 2010 and 2023, in the Scopus database, aims to identify emerging research themes, emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, and reveal global research networks. Utilizing citation analysis, co-authorship analysis, co-occurrence analysis, bibliographic coupling analysis, and co-citation analysis with the use of VOSviewer (version 1.6.19) and Python programming language, the study sheds light on key trends in the integration of tourism development into urban planning. The findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the field’s current landscape, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation and global research networks. This study offers valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, facilitating the advancement of sustainable urban tourism practices and guiding future research endeavors in integrating tourism development into urban planning.
