Evolving Narratives in Tourism and Climate Change Research: Trends, Gaps, and Future Directions

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The article's topic had the potential to evolve into an interesting one. However, there is a substantial lack of a theoretical background along with a justification for the importance of the study to tourism. Therefore, I suggest the author provide a solid theoretical discussion that can add to the findings. 

Minor editing is required.

Reviewer 3 Report

While this is a very interesting paper, the author should revise some issues. In the introduction the author should expand the relationships between climate change and tourism. This will inform the current situation about the topics that create more interest and also the topics which are not represented. In this sense, the author should expand the research gap and the research contribution. In the method, the author should provide details about the bibliometric analysis research approach protocol and support the use of the Scopus database with previous references. This will improve the replicability and validity of the research. Also, in the conclusions, the author should expand the theoretical and practical implications, and the opportunities for future research based on the results.
