Abstract: Agritourism has been a popular research topic over the last decade.However, there has been a lack of systematic, comprehensive, and objective literature reviews in this field.Therefore, this study carried out a visual bibliometric analysis of the knowledge structure and evolution by analyzing 1377 documents related to agritourism using CiteSpace.The results show that agritourism research is prevalent, but most published journals lack high academic credibility.Research teams communicate frequently; however, individual collaborative networks remain relatively independent.Over the past decade, China and the United States have invested significantly in agritourism research, forming a relatively close partnership with notable academic influence.Current research focuses on rural tourism's development paths and challenges, sustainability issues, and ecological protection of tourism destinations.Future research may include interdisciplinary approaches and forecasting, particularly integrating agritourism with sustainable development, marketing, and artificial intelligence.This study constructs a knowledge framework by identifying research gaps, proposing directions for future investigation, and enriching the knowledge system with valuable references.
