Abstract

The paper presents an overview of studies on tourism in Brazil published abroad in the English language between 1977 and 2014. Studies published as books, book chapters and scientific papers in journals were selected. The data collection technique used was the search in databases, consulting the curricula of the authors and search tools on the Internet. 149 published papers were identified..In 2012 22 studies were published, resulting in the year with the highest number of publications. Since then, the growing rate of publications has stabilized or even decreased a little. 73% (n=109) of the studies were published in scientific journals, 23% (n =35) in book chapters and 3% (n=5) in book format. Altogether 256 authors have published on the subject, but only 41 of them published at least two studies. The themes of the studies were varied, with the natural environment receiving slightly higher attention. In the word cloud of each work’s abstract the following words are highlighted: development, management, environmental, ecotourism, sustainable, destination and economic.
