The primary goals are to explore emerging trends, publishing patterns, and thegeographical regions most active in this area of research, as well as to identify the keyjournals, authors, and keywords shaping the field. The bibliometric analysis uncovers theprogression of academic studies and highlights regions with significant research activity.While female entrepreneurship is a driving force for economic development and genderequity in tourism, persistent obstacles, such as limited research in certain areas and barriersto women’s participation, remain.
