To develop the tourism potential of a local community, region or tourist destination in general, it is important to identify each of the elements that compose it and how they work. This information is collected and published, mostly, in scientific papers. Therefore, the central objective of this research is to analyze the state of knowledge, through a retrospective bibliometric study, the scientific production that develops, mentions and proposes elements related to the topic of value chains with a tourism focus, highlighting factors such as author, affiliation, country, type of document, among others. The research methodology is based on a documentary review and retrospective bibliometric information on papers related to the topic of tourism value chains. To do this, the Scopus database was consulted by searching for the topic ‘tourism value chain’ written in the title, abstract or keywords of the paper, resulting in 52 research works carried out between 2010-2020. The consultation of these documents took place between July 20, 2020 and June 25, 2021 on the website http://www.scopus.com. It is concluded that the studies on tourism value chains of the last ten years are few, where the paper modality predominates and Thailand is the leading country, although there are also Latin American countries that can lay the foundations of this issue and make visible the importance of tourism value chain research to achieve equitable development among all the links in the chain.

Keywords : bibliometric indicators; quality; services; tourism; value chains.
