The purpose of this paper is to examine the trends in published research articles on tourism education from 2010 to 2022. A total of 1210 articles indexed in Dimensions AI database were analyzed for the number of authors, journals, citations, collaborating institutions and source countries. The research publications in scholarly articles on tourism education shows a gradual increase with higher growth observed in the years 2017, 2020, and 2021. Prominent authors include Deale, Cynthia S., and Ateljevic, Irena, and, prominent institutions include Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China and the United States appeared to be the most productive country in terms of articles and citations. “Learning”, “Curriculum”, “Career”, “Internship program” and “Competencies & skills” were the most research topics. The paper offers valuable insights for researchers, identifying productive authors, institutions, and popular keywords used in tourism education.
