Abstract
Despite the increased recognition of the importance of images as a rich data source, the full potential of images to
advance tourism and hospitality knowledge, both conceptually and theoretically, has yet to be fully tapped. This
study provides a critical review of image analytics, examining its broad implications for tourism and hospitality
research. This paper offers the progress of image definitions, features and related theories, as well as presents a
methodological framework for conducting image-related studies, complementing the dominant textual analysis
used in tourism and hospitality research. The paper makes contributions to the tourism methodological literature
by developing a point of reference for the application of image analytics in tourism and hospitality studies.
