Digital Accessibility and Emerging Technologies in Cross-border Tourism: A Bibliometric Review for the Euroregion of Northern Portugal and Galicia

This study analyses the evolution of research on digital accessibility and emerging technologies applied to tourism, with a special focus on their framework in cross-border regions, namely in the Northern Portugal and Galicia Euroregion. Based on a systematic search in Web of Science (2020-2025), 268 articles were identified and subsequently processed using bibliometric methods with Bibliometrix R/Biblioshiny. The results show a sharp increase in scientific production, strongly focused on topics such as inclusion, technology, tourism experiences, and barriers to access. The analysis of networks and thematic structures reveals a scientific field in consolidation, where digital transformation and accessible tourism take centre stage, although gaps remain in the articulation between emerging technologies and cross-border tourism. This study contributes to an updated mapping of the field, identifying trends, the most influential authors and institutions, as well as opportunities for future research aimed at developing and promoting more inclusive and digitally accessible destinations.DOI: https://doi.org/10.54663/2182-9306.2026.SpecialIssueCMTH.253-271
