In the hospitality and tourism literature, the emphasis on corporations' environmental and social responsibilities has been more accentuated than on other businesses due to the industries’ intensive use of natural resources and wasteful characteristics (e.g., water, food, etc.) Despite the growing industry focusing on ESG (environmental, social, governance), an unclear definitional conceptualization distinguishes CSR (corporate social responsibility) and ESG. Applying the bibliometric analysis approach, this study analyzed a total of 704 peer-reviewed hospitality and tourism research papers retrieved with ESG-related keywords. CSR-related keywords were also included in the analysis due to their relevance and to demonstrate the comparative opportunities in ESG research. The results showed that the research on ESG is significantly lacking, and the research endeavors have not made a full transition from CSR to ESG. The results also showed that CSR is a concept that pertains to a broader definition of ESG but given the CSR framework not specifying governance issues, it could face limitations in theoretical applications and practical usage. Content analysis of the literature abstract yielded three distinctive themes (i) , (ii) , and (iii) . The findings of this study elicited the concept and definition of ESG and identified significant gaps in the literature. Finally, this study proposed a list of research questions to benefit future researchers to close the lapse in the hospitality and tourism ESG literature.

酒店和旅游业环境、社会和治理 (ESG) 文献的文献计量分析

在酒店和旅游业文献中，由于该行业密集使用自然资源和浪费的特点（例如水、食物等），因此比其他企业更加强调企业的环境和社会责任，尽管在关注ESG（环境、社会、治理）的行业中，CSR（企业社会责任）和ESG之间的定义概念不明确。本研究采用文献计量分析方法，分析了使用 ESG 相关关键词检索到的 704 篇经过同行评审的酒店和旅游研究论文。由于企业社会责任相关的关键词具有相关性，因此也被纳入分析中，并展示了 ESG 研究中的比较机会。结果表明，我国对ESG的研究显着缺乏，研究方向尚未从CSR全面转向ESG。结果还表明，企业社会责任是一个属于更广泛的 ESG 定义的概念，但由于企业社会责任框架没有具体说明治理问题，它可能在理论应用和实际使用中面临限制。对文献摘要的内容分析得出了三个独特的主题（i）、（ii）和（iii）。本研究的结果引出了 ESG 的概念和定义，并确定了文献中的重大空白。最后，本研究提出了一系列研究问题，以帮助未来的研究人员弥补酒店和旅游业 ESG 文献中的缺陷。
