This practical book explains the key ideas that tourism practitioners and decision-makers must know to understand Smart Technologies, and the management principles supporting them. Real-life cases are provided to illustrate the true dimension of the "smart" phenomenon and the new frontiers that are yet to open in the coming years.
Smart technologies are revolutionizing tourism, as they are having a profound impact on the way tourists behave and on how firms interact with them and create value. The increasing availability of real-time Big Data and the advances made in data analytics techniques, artificial intelligence, and IoT, has begun to transform tourism organizations in ways not previously considered, and in a lasting manner. The degree of sophistication achieved and the speed with which this so-called Smart Revolution is taking place means that tourism practitioners lacking a relevant digital and data-focused background are at risk of being left behind and unable to take advantage of the opportunities offered to create sustainable competitive advantages. This book delivers the latest and most relevant advances in the field of smart transformation and the management practices that can be put into practice to continue creating value in the years to come. Divided into four main parts and 23 chapters, it highlights the challenges that the Smart Revolution brings to tourism firms by providing updated knowledge on the literature, research, and experiences of the author. The book will also provide a guide for action to business leaders and those approaching the fundamentals of the Smart Revolution for the first time. It will also serve as a valuable text for undergraduate and graduate students on specialized courses in tourism, technology, and business transformation.
