Abstract
Reaching 25 years or more is a significant achievement and milestone for the International Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Administration. This editorial note follows a bibliometric analysis of 584 papers published since the first issue in 2000. The evolution of the journal, along with its trends and topics of published manuscripts, provides a valuable perspective for identifying future research areas and encourages scholars from underrepresented fields to further conceptualize and critically appraise the notion of “administration,” which is central to the journal’s core scope.
