Eye movement technology, as an important tool to explore human psychologicalactivities, has attracted the attention of more scholars in recent years. By sorting out 102 literatures ontourism eye movement at home and abroad, it is found that eye movement tracking has become animportant method of tourism research, and the number of published articles is generally on the rise.The application objects of tourism eye movement in China are relatively macroscopic and concentrated,and in recent years, tourism landscapes, tourism maps and tourism advertisements are the hot spots.Foreign research objects are relatively microscopic and scattered, and they pay more attention to thepracticality of research. The theory is mainly based on psychology and human geography. Since 2020,the combination of tourism theory and eye tracking technology has emerged, which reflects theexpansion of tourism research vision. Tourism eye movement technology is based on optics andelectromagnetic induction, and its eye movement indicators are diverse, but the hotspot map isgenerally indispensable. These characteristics are in line with the general rules of the initial research ofeye movement technology.
