• Resumen

  • In spite of increasing numbers of publications and newly established journals in event management, research topics and themes have not drawn much attention among event scholars. This research note reports on research trends in event management journals and makes suggestions for future research. A total of 463 research articles published in the four event management journals and 78 event management articles in the loading hospitality and tourism journals were collected. The results showed that topics for event studies have changed over time. Recent studies heavily focus on visitor experiences, investigating motivation, satisfaction, and behavioral intention, while past studies paid more attention to the economic impact of events or volunteer motivation.
