Abstract

Risk management of tourist destinations is an important research field in the discipline of tourism. With the development of tourism, more scholars are engaged in this field of research, and it is very important to make a comprehensive assessment of its current situation. This article takes the core collection of Web of Science as the data source, selects 323 literatures published between 2006 and 2025 as research samples, and systematically analyzes the publication trends in this field and other fields, aiming to reveal the evolutionary vein, knowledge structure and cutting-edge dynamics of tourist destination risk management research. The research of existing scholars in this field has extended from single risk management to multi-risk control, including natural risks, economic risks and other dimensions. The research covers the three major knowledge sections of micropsychology, risk response and governance value. In general, tourist destination risk management research is undergoing a profound transformation from “emergency response” to “advance prevention” and from “micropsychology” to “macro governance”. This study systematically outlines the knowledge atlas in the field of tourist destination risk management, clarifies the classic literature genealogy and frontier dynamics for the follow-up research in this field, and provides clear guidelines for researchers to grasp the academic context and find innovative entry points.
