This study presents a bibliometric analysis of rural tourism development and its impact on community economic welfare, drawing insights from research published between 2000 and 2024. Using data from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, we analyzed 1,000 papers to map the intellectual structure of the field, identifying key themes, influential authors, and emerging trends. The results highlight the central role of rural tourism in fostering sustainable development, with significant research attention given to ecotourism, agritourism, and cultural tourism. Moreover, the study reveals a growing focus on the use of advanced technologies such as big data and geographic information systems in enhancing rural tourism management. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders seeking to optimize rural tourism strategies for sustainable community development. This study contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive overview of the trends, challenges, and opportunities in rural tourism research, with a particular focus on economic welfare.
