Abstract

The objective of the article is to identify the written production of a scientific nature related to the inclusion of information and communications technologies (ICTs) for the strengthening of nature tourism. Its methodological development was built on a work of scientific bibliometric analysis under a quantitative exploratory, three research questions were defined to establish the knowledge developed to date about study. As a result, the analysis, and graphs of the evolution of the publications were obtained; geographical origin, types of documents, themes, and technology trends associated with the use of ICT in nature tourism; In addition, the journals, authors, citations, and influential keywords related to the research were analyzed. The results presented in this document encourage new research into the use of ICT as a cross-cutting element in tourism activities developed by communities that promote sustainable development. To conclude with a quantitative analysis of each of the categories studied and the data obtained systematized in the period 2011 to the first half of 2020, based on publications in the Scopus database
