Popular science tourism in geoparks plays an important role in enhancing public scientific literacy and awareness of ecological conservation. Based on 386 relevant publications from January 1999 to November 2024 at home and abroad, this study systematically reviews the research progress, constructs a core framework, and proposes directions for future research. The results show that: (1) The research trajectory of popular science tourism in geoparks can be divided into three stages: initial stage (2010 and earlier), exploratory stage (2011-2018), and development stage (after 2019). (2) The research mainly focuses on resources and products, interpretive systems, tourist motivations and perceptions, and community participation, forming a core element chain of “supply—value transmission—demand—participation”. (3) Existing studies are characterized by multiple dimensions, multiple scales, an emphasis on effectiveness, and a strong focus on experience. However, there remains room for improvement in theoretical construction, content deepening, and methodological integration, which needs further refinement. Building on the core element chain, this study further proposes a research framework for popular science tourism in China’s geoparks, aiming to develop a localized research paradigm of popular science tourism in geoparks. Additionally, it seeks to deepen the exploration of the core elements, summarize directions for future research, and thereby support the high-quality development of popular science tourism in geoparks.
