The aim of this study is to review the studies of diaspora tourism, which is getting more and more attention by tourism scholars. To achieve this goal, bibliometric and visualization analyzes were used. “The most productive journals”, “the most cited studies”, “the most productive authors”, “the annual number of publications”, “the most contributing organizations”, and “the most contributing countries” parameters based on WoS database were examined. VOSviewer software was used to reveal the leading trends in the diaspora tourism literature. Thirty-seven studies were found with the help of the WoS database, over the period from 2000 – December 2021. Especially in the last two years (2020-21), the literature on diaspora tourism has grown remarkably. China was by far the leading country in diaspora tourism, and there was a lack of research on diasporic travel from countries such as India, Turkey and Israel. The organization that contributed the most to the literature was Hong Kong Polytech University with 10 studies. According to the keyword analysis, the most popular words are ‘diaspora tourism’, and ‘diaspora’.

Keywords: diaspora tourism, diaspora tourist, bibliometric analysis, WoS database, VOSviewer
