This study presents a bibliometric analysis of scholarly literature on the role of local wisdom in sustainable tourism management, aiming to map its intellectual structure, key contributors, thematic developments, and emerging research trends. Using the Scopus database, 385 relevant documents published between 2000 and 2024 were analyzed through VOSviewer. The co-occurrence analysis reveals that sustainable tourism, local wisdom, and ecotourism are the dominant themes, often interconnected with concepts such as community-based tourism, traditional knowledge, and cultural heritage. Temporal analysis indicates a shift from conceptual discussions to more applied themes, including tourism development and circular economy. The density visualization underscores the centrality of sustainability-oriented concepts, while co-authorship mapping highlights a fragmented collaboration landscape, with limited integration between local and global researchers. These findings suggest a maturing but still evolving field, where future studies should emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, empirical implementation, and greater engagement with community stakeholders. Strengthening the incorporation of local wisdom offers a promising path toward culturally inclusive and environmentally sustainable tourism practices.
