Forty-one articles indexed in Web of Science were selected. The results highlight fiveemerging data categories: SM influence factors, Content Endorsers, Information Sources, Context, and UserCharacteristics. Identified influencing factors include destination features, Quality Content, Usability, andeWOM. Various content endorsers were found, yet no consensus on which wields greater consumer influence.Understanding diverse contexts and user profiles is crucial for formulating effective TD strategies. Thisresearch underscores the need for further studies and introduces a graphical model, the 'Social MediaAzevedo-Ferreira Model,' visually illustrating the scientific literature on this subject. Market implicationssuggest the production of authentic content reflecting regional culture to foster connections between usersand TD. Future research should explore alternative databases.
