Abstract(s)
This paper presents the results of a bibliometric analysis of published academic research on
innovation in hotels. In particular, it aims to analyze the conceptual structure of the field, covering
the period until October 2020, and predict emerging trends. This approach provides an exhaustive
analysis of 334 papers collected from the Scopus database. Co-word analysis used to identify the
conceptual structure reveals four clusters: (1) technological innovation, (2) innovativeness and
innovation strategy, (3) knowledge and employee innovative behavior, and (4) performance as an
outcome of organizational capability to innovate. The present study contributes to the literature by
increasing the accumulation of knowledge on research topics, providing an up-to-date review on
hotel innovation literature, and setting forth an agenda for future research.
