Abstract: The study of tourism and hospitality has been carried out from different academic perspectives, disciplines and fields of knowledge. This paper has focused on the main disciplines in the Spanish tourism and hospitality. For this, the scientific output of the Spanish researchers in tourism and hospitality has been studied. The bibliometric analysis was performed using the Scopus database from 2002 to 2013. Findings showed that the fields of study in relation to Economics and Business stand out greatly in Spanish tourism and hospitality research. In particular, three relevant areas have been detected, such as Applied Economics, Marketing and Business Administration. However, no significant differences have been found between these three areas with respect to the bibliometric indicators used.
