Abstract: While sustainable and responsible tourism management ensures environmental preservation, benefits local communities, and promotes equitable development, significant research challenges currently exist. Therefore, examining research trends surrounding sustainable and responsible tourism management is crucial. The study proposes a bibliometric analysis to obtain relevant information and adhere to PRISMA guidelines. Findings reveal a notable growth in scientific production, with 2021 and 2022 standing out. A shift in focus is observed towards conservation of natural resources, marine ecotourism, decision-making, and community participation as emerging trends in the literature.

Keywords: resource conservation; marine ecotourism; community participation; decision-making; PRISMA methodology.
