Abstract
This research is aimed to reveal the situations of studies on health and wellness tourism, which will also provide theoretical guide for those who has been involved in or will be involved in this field. Taking Cite space as the analysis tool this research proceeds by means of online visual analysis of database, which has been collected through mapping knowledge domains including keyword burstiness, keyword cluster and sigma. It has been discovered that the research frontier of China’s health and wellness tourism has been developing and diversifying including wellness tourism, towns of health and wellness tourism, destinations of health and wellness tourism, health and wellness tourism productions, health and wellness tourism industries, rural revitalization, ecological tourism and development paths etc. Conclusions have been arrived that in recent years, studies on China’s health and wellness tourism have been started, at a stage of exploring, whose theoretical study lags behind practice. It is necessary to improve the quality of theoretical study of China’s health and wellness tourism to guide its green development, ecological development and healthy development with unlimited potentials.
