Abstract

The importance of addressing multisensory aspects in the design of tourism experiences and places has become apparent in a recent strand of research. There has been a substantial growth of studies in the last decade across different countries and journals. This paper provides an up-to-date systematic overview of the evolution of research incorporating multisensory elements rather than individual sensory modalities. These studies can assist in the understanding and design of tourism experiences and inform future research. The lexical, temporal and co-citation networks of the 99 articles selected are described, as well as the methods they use. Findings indicate that opportunities for future research on tourism experience design around the senses are related to sustainability and technology.
