SILVA, Amanda Cabral da; BRAGA, Debora Cordeiro  e  ROMANO, Fillipe Soares. MEGA-EVENTS AND TOURISM: A BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY OF BRAZILIAN TOURISM JOURNALS. Tur., Visão e Ação [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.3, pp.633-659. ISSN 1983-7151.  http://dx.doi.org/10.14210/rtva.v18n2.p633-659.

This is a descriptive, exploratory study that analyzes the production of scientific knowledge of Brazilian tourism journals in relation to the subject of “mega-events” in the period 2010-2015, through a bibliometric study. Understanding how scholars are producing and publishing knowledge about mega-events in Brazilian journals is important, in view of Brazil’s leading role as a host country for sports mega-events in 2014 and 2016. Among the 1,760 articles published from January 2010 to December 2015, twelve articles on mega-events were identified. Of these, nine were about sports mega-events, one focused on a musical mega-event, another was about tourism strategy, and the last one was about mega-events tourism. Thus, it was possible to understand the diversity of studies on mega-events and how their themes can contribute to tourism.
