This article analyzes academic research of tourism on the north coast of Honduras, using a bibliometric study of documents involving a systematic review of multidisciplinary databases (Scopus) between 1988 and 2018. The review yielded 25 papers with this theme. Most academic production occurred between 2010 and 2018 with 14 documents, indicating a growing interest among some authors to study the area in recent years. Researchers in United States produced the most publications, followed by those in Canada and England. The main topics covered were evaluation of social, economic, and environmental impacts of tourism, privatization of coastal lands, green neoliberalism and tourism, and commodification of culture.
