This paper presents a theoretical review on the construct of coopetition (a neologism for cooperative competition), focusing particularly on studies that apply this concept to tourism. The goal is to provide a general overview of this behavior, which is indicated as a generator of a new class of advantage: coopetitive advantage. For this theoretical study, a systematic literature review was carried out on coopetition, through a bibliometric analysis of the last twenty years of publications in two databases: Scopus and Web of Science. The implications of coopetition for tourism, and the delimitations of the current use of the construct were verified. Also, future research tends on the topic are indicated. The result show that coopetition is seen as an intrinsic behavior of the tourism sector, where firms complement each other to create a market, while at the same time, competing for a share of it. The existence of the common goal of developing the tourism destination is the greatest driving force for coopetition, leading to inseparability between cooperation and competition. Thus, coopetition can be seen as a complementary perspective to competitiveness analysis; however more research on this topic is needed, especially to develop explanatory models for tourism destinations.
