Collected 290 research articles published in the Scopus database and applied rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria to select them for bibliometric analysis. Bibliometrix and VOSviewer tools were employed to analyse and depict the research. Co-citation of cited references, co-citation on a timeline basis, and bibliometric coupling analysis are performed to examine the trends and patterns. Further, inferred a thematic structure of sustainable tourism and biodiversity, uncovering seven co-citation clusters, twenty co-citation clusters on a timeline basis, and eleven bibliometric coupling clusters.
