Ice and snow are natural phenomena as well as valuable tourism resources. Originating in the European mountains in the late 19th century, ice-snow tourism has become an increasingly significant sector of the tourism industry. Despite sustained growth, international ice-snow tourism has faced unprecedented threats in recent years. The ice-snow tourism in China has developed in recent years. However, ice-snow tourism industry in China has proliferated in the past few years, especially after China won the 2022 Winter Olympics bid in 2015. The purpose of this study is to summarize international studies on ice-snow tourism and then provide references for future studies in China. Articles associated with ice-snow tourism, published before the year 2021, were retrieved from the Web of Science core collection with the topics “ice tourism”, “ski tourism”, “snow tourism”, “winter tourism” and “ski resort”. Based on a systematic review of the literature, Citespace was also used to perform text mining and visual analysis. The results show that: (1) Research of international ice-snow tourism increased continuously from the year of 1988, with developed countries in Europe and America contributing most of the research, while China showed its great potential in this field. (2) Tourism injuries dominated the initial phase of international ice-snow tourism studies, whereas climate change attracted attention afterward due to the consensus on global warming. In recent studies, studies have focused on ice-snow tourism industry sustainability, diversity of products and services in ski resorts, and other micro-level topics. (3) Knowledge structure of international ice-snow tourism studies was visualized as co-citation clusters, with 7 clusters identified. As a result of comparing labels and reading associated articles, these clusters could be grouped into three main categories: impact on the natural environment, tourists' experience, and industry development. Additionally, this study suggests that Chinese research on ice-snow tourism has generally focused on discourse at the macro level, and used similar perspectives, conventional data sources and research methods compared to international studies. Therefore, this study concludes that future research on ice-snow tourism in China should pay more attention to in-depth case studies, multiple perspectives, new data and methods, and the practical value of research.
