Abstract: This study seeks to evaluate the market orientation literature within the scope of the hotel industry. It uses bibliometric methods, particularly a co-citation analysis combined with a literature review. Data were obtained from the Web of Science database and 136 unique documents were used in the analysis. The results show that market orientation literature using data from the hotel industry has been focused on assessing the relationship with hotel business performance and involves three background subjects: methodological aspects regarding the statistical analysis, market orientation theoretical framework and measurement scales, and innovation-related issues, particularly concerning the provided service, including incremental and radical innovations, which are critical over periods of market turmoil. A proposal for future research is presented.
