A review of distance decay research trends in tourism from 2000-2020

Distance decay defined as demand or volume decreases exponentially with distance increases. It is a gravity model of human geography that used to understand human behaviours, movements, and tourism flows, particularly in tourism planning and management. Thus, this paper attempts to outline a systema...

Description
Summary:Distance decay defined as demand or volume decreases exponentially with distance increases. It is a gravity model of human geography that used to understand human behaviours, movements, and tourism flows, particularly in tourism planning and management. Thus, this paper attempts to outline a systematic literature review to provide a comprehensive understanding with different distance decay thematic studied in tourism research from the year 2000 - 2020. The review identified the research focuses with the research scopes studied and contribute to conceptual and theoretical basic understanding.
