Abstract
The Chinese tourism sector is experiencing one of the highest levels of growth, to the extent that China is set to become the leading world power in tourism within the coming decade. Therefore, studying this important sector deserves particular attention. The aim of this study is to analyze the state-of-the-art of China tourism research by reviewing 95 academic papers published between 1997 and 2008 in the world's three leading tourism journals: Annals of Tourism Research, Journal of Travel Research, and Tourism Management. We report the main topics analyzed as well as various rankings of journals, citations, and individual and institutional contributions.
