Özet
The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) have initiated a new collaboration to draw attention to the threats posed by climate change to winter sports and tourism. The Memorandum of Understanding signed within this scope includes the development of joint initiatives aimed at highlighting the effects of global temperature increases on snow and ice cover and strengthening scientific-sports dialogue. This collaboration is considered an important step as it represents the first time that WMO, one of the specialized agencies of the United Nations, has collaborated with an international sports federation. This study examines the academic literature on sustainable winter tourism and climate change using bibliometric analysis. The analysis, which is conducted using publication data obtained from academic databases such as Web of Science, reveals research trends in this field. The results show that academic interest in sustainable winter tourism and climate change has increased significantly in recent years. The majority of studies evaluate the effects of climate change on winter tourism destinations and focus on sustainable solutions and strategies. In addition, the analysis identifies the main trends in the literature by examining the geographical distribution of the studies, the most frequently used concepts and keywords, the types of publications and the most cited studies. The findings provide an important basis for future studies by comprehensively evaluating the existing research on sustainable winter tourism and climate change. In this context, the study is a valuable guide that can contribute to the development of sustainable tourism policies.
