Abstract: Abstract Tourism is considered the most important economic driver of many countries. Employment, inflow of foreign exchange and investment are some of the many channels through which tourism benefits the economy. Tourism faces many problems and terrorism and migrations are undoubtedly one of those. In a broader sense, tourism, terrorism and migration are closely intertwined with the concept of voluntary and involuntary migration. Terrorism has a negative impact on tourism and is considered a major driver of migration flows. Immigrants, after acquiring the necessary economic wealth in a new country of residence, become a part of tourist flows. In this paper, a framework for the migration-tourism-terrorism nexus has been established, and the main areas of current research have been highlighted. Bibliometric analysis was applied to the WOS database for the period from 2001 to 2021. The research implemented a three-tiered approach that identified relevant articles in the area of terrorism and tourism (TT) (138), migration and tourism (MT) (103), and migration, tourism and terrorism (MTT) (2). In addition to the citation and co-authorship analysis, this study analyzed the co-occurrence of keywords. The results show that the USA, UK and China are the most prolific countries, while Tourism Economics, Tourism Management and Annals of Tourism Research are the most relevant journals in the field. The co-keyword analysis identified four distinct research areas for TT and three for MT. At the end of the paper, possible future research directions for each area are clearly indicated, and the limitations of this study are highlighted.
