Despite the importance of perceived value for tourism, to the best of our knowledge, there are no bibliometric or revisionary articles that sought to understand the theoretical-thematic roots of perceived value and the current paths of the construct in relation to its borders. In this sense, aiming to address this gap, we carried out a bibliometric study with co-citation and bibliographic coupling analyses. The objective, therefore, was to analyze the conceptual bases that support research on perceived value and the frontiers of current knowledge on the topic. We followed SPAR-4-SLR as a methodological protocol, a reference in revisional and bibliometric studies. Data collection was carried out on the Web of Science, restricting it to scientific articles published until 2022. Our final sample was 257 articles. We present descriptive results and graphic mappings. Our descriptive results included evolution of works per year, publications per author and publications per journal. Our graphical mappings were divided into a co-citation analysis map and a bibliographic coupling map. Among our main results, we identified 6 clusters of theoretical bases (co-citation) and 5 clusters of theoretical boundaries (bibliographic coupling). The contribution of the article lies in the organization, synthesis and analysis of the stock of knowledge of perceived value in tourism.
