Abstract: Abstract Tourism as an economic sector plays a very important role in regions and economies around the world, being the object of study for the development of advances in different areas. One of these areas refers to developing tools that allow the measurement and subsequent validation of the variables and constructs to be measured. This study focuses on identifying trends in the scientific field by using validation tools within the context of tourism through a bibliometric analysis. There has been a growth in the use of these tools in recent years, showing a varied application of these tools in areas such as food service, lodging, and air transport, as a unit for measuring aspects related to service quality and user perception. On the other hand, there are advances related to sustainable development and tourism, integrating tools and results in the progress of sustainable practices in tourism programs. Similarly, analyses are made on the relationships of authors, countries, and journals through the quantity, quality, and structure indicators presented, helping to identify trends in the subject.
