Research that broadly addresses destination management without specific case studies or unique contexts is becoming less prominent, with a shift towards more focused and empirical studies. - Cultural Tourism:
The emphasis on cultural tourism as a standalone theme appears to be waning, with fewer studies dedicated solely to cultural aspects of tourism, possibly due to the increased integration of cultural elements into broader tourism strategies. - Volunteer Tourism:
