Background: Wider landscapes, nowadays, have been widely used as an attraction for the design of the tourism sector in a particular destination due to tourism demand. Many scholars have focused on the patterns and structures that emerge when landscapes transform into tourismscapes, but they have not yet included research on critical metrics and literature issues. Therefore, this article highlights the pivotal issues of transformation from landscapes into tourism landscapes in the context of bibliometric and literature reviews. Methods: Using bibliometric methods, we extracted 8111 documents from the academic Scopus database and evaluated them through three primary tools such as the Biblioshiny by R-Studio programming language, VOSViewer, and NVivo 12 Plus software. Results: The study showed that research on conveying landscapes into tourism landscapes continues to increase steadfastly every year. The study strengthened the measurement of significant impact and collaboration among authors, countries, and affiliates. Interconnected and networked terms such as tourism, land use, protected areas, sustainable development, tourism development, and climate change are crucial. Other essential terms also include environmental protection, conservation, and ecotourism. Significantly, in the land-changing process from landscapes to tourismscapes, the preservation of ecosystems and the conservation of land resources are essential for ensuring the long-term viability of the tourism industry. This attention also reviews thematic maps, conceptual structures, and theme hierarchies, highlighting several pivotal concepts in tourism landscapes. Conclusions: This research finds that transforming natural landscapes into tourist destinations brings economic benefits to the tourism sector and causes changes in social structures. However, this also highlights the need for planned and long-term sustainability in addressing landscape-related environmental changes.
