Circular Economy in the Hotel Industry: A General Mapping through Bibliometric Analysis

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of circular economy strategies in the hotel industry, a topic that has gained relevance but lacks comprehensive synthesis. Unlike previous studies that address sustainability in general terms, this research focuses specifically on how circular practices are being studied and implemented in hospitality, identifying gaps in geographic coverage, technological integration, and economic evaluation. By analyzing trends, key actors, and collaboration networks through Scopus and Web of Science data, the study provides a novel perspective to guide future research and policy development.
