The purpose of this article is to identify major trends, researchtopics and gaps in the literature on the application of new technologies in tourism, basedon a bibliometric review of publications. A state-of-the-art type review was conducted usingbibliometric analysis. The analysis included 296 publications from the Web of Science CoreCollection database (2000–2024), using the bibliometrix tool. Since 2019, a marked increasein publication volume has been observed. Research in the social, economic and environmentalsciences dominates. The most common topics are AI, big data and destination management.The largest number of publications comes from Spain. New technologies are changing thestructure and operation of the tourism sector.
