Information and Communication Technologies for Sustainable Tourism (Advances in Tourism)
by Alisha Ali Andrew J. FrewSustainable development is a highly topical issue and is of critical importance to tourism as the environment is of utmost importance for the continued development and prosperity of the industry. There have been numerous texts written on sustainable tourism and the measures to mitigate and manage this but none which acknowledges Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a mechanism of doing so despite being an emerging area of research. ICT in this context refers to innovative tools which form an integrated system of software and networked equipment that facilitates data processing information sharing communication and the ability to search and select from an existing range of products and services for an organisation’s benefits. Despite the symbiotic relationship, which exists between ICT and sustainable tourism, there has been little research, which has considered how the use of such technology can be used to make sustainable tourism development a more workable reality. This opportune book is the first to provide a focus on the interrelationship of these two important topics demonstrating their synergies and providing insight into a new and innovative approach to managing sustainable tourism development. It considers the use of technology to reduce the negative impacts of tourism from both the demand and supply side perspectives. A critical review of a range of cutting edge technologies used by tourists and businesses to assess their usefulness in managing sustainable tourism development from the macro to the micro level is also discussed. It further integrates examples and practical applications to show how ICT can be an invaluable mechanism in the management of sustainable tourism development. This cutting-edge volume provides a wealth of information on an important yet neglected subject. This book will be invaluable reading for students, researchers, academics and members of the tourism industry looking for new and innovate ways of fostering a more sustainable tourism industry.

Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism 2025: Proceedings of the ENTER 2025 eTourism Conference, Wroclaw, Poland, February 17–21 (Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics)
by Peter O'Connor Lyndon Nixon Aarni TuomiThis book provides an extensive overview of the latest developments in information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the tourism and hospitality industry. Featuring papers presented at the International Federation for IT and Travel & Tourism’s (IFITT) 32nd annual ENTER International eTourism Conference (ENTER25) held in Wroclaw, Poland, this book examines the future of the tourism and hospitality industry and the impact ICTs such as generative AI, robotics, and Internet of things (IoT) has in creating a sustainable future for the industry. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) continue to revolutionize travel, tourism, and hospitality. Over 30+ years, the ENTER eTourism conference has been at the forefront of providing insight on the use and impact of new technologies for travel, tourism and hospitality practitioners and researchers. However, the rapid development and deployment of new developments, including generative AI (GenAI), service robotics, IoT, and Extended Realities (XR) technologies, among others, call for a rapid and careful reassessment of ICT in tourism, particularly including ethical and societal considerations. Examining the answer to questions such as how can technology help businesses and organizations be more agile, innovative, and resilient in difficult times; what role does technology play in driving sustainable development; how emerging technologies impact customer and employee experiences, and how challenges and dangers presented by technological disruption can be addressed, this book is valuable to scholars, researchers, students, and practitioners in tourism and hospitality.
