Lately, tourists consider their mobile devices as essential
accessories for the realization of their trip before, during, and
after the visit. Such devices allow them to consult information
about points of interest, services, or products in real time. Thus,
mobile devices have come to be considered as tools to support
decision making regarding the realization of trips. In the digital
environment, tourists seek complementary information to consolidate
knowledge about the destination, heritage, culture, customs, and
traditions that make the visited place unique. Simultaneously, they
transform tourist experiences into a memory associated with travel,
contribute to the sustainability of local populations, reduce
inequalities, and cooperate to improve the quality of life of all
involved. ICT as Innovator Between Tourism and Culture differs from
others on the same areas because it aims to place the emphasis on
and increase the bridge of knowledge between information
communications technology (ICT), tourism, and culture, considering
ICT as the main driver that creates the development environment and
enhances the tourist experience in general. In particular, it is
linked to cultural heritage, making it a more sustainable and
intelligent tourist destination, taking into account the well-being
of the local population and visitors. Covering topics such as
destination image, religious tourism, and innovation dynamics, this
book is an essential resource for IT consultants, hotel managers,
marketers, travel agencies, tour operators, tourism researchers,
professors, students, practitioners within the tourism industry,
and academicians.
Smart systems when connected to artificial intelligence (AI) are
still closely associated with some popular misconceptions that
cause the general public to either have unrealistic fears about AI
or to expect too much about how it will change our workplace and
life in general. It is important to show that such fears are
unfounded, and that new trends, technologies, and smart systems
will be able to improve the way we live, benefiting society without
replacing humans in their core activities. Smart Systems Design,
Applications, and Challenges provides emerging research that
presents state-of-the-art technologies and available systems in the
domains of smart systems and AI and explains solutions from an
augmented intelligence perspective, showing that these technologies
can be used to benefit, instead of replace, humans by augmenting
the information and actions of their daily lives. The book
addresses all smart systems that incorporate functions of sensing,
actuation, and control in order to describe and analyze a situation
and make decisions based on the available data in a predictive or
adaptive manner. Highlighting a broad range of topics such as
business intelligence, cloud computing, and autonomous vehicles,
this book is ideally designed for engineers, investigators, IT
professionals, researchers, developers, data analysts, professors,
and students.
Tourists frequently rely on social networks to provide information
about a product or destination as a decision support tool to make
adequate decisions in the process of planning a trip. In this
digital environment, tourists share their travel experiences,
impressions, emotions, special moments, and opinions about an
assortment of tourist services like hotels, restaurants, airlines,
and car rental services, all of which contribute to the online
reputation of a tourist destination. The Handbook of Research on
Social Media Applications for the Tourism and Hospitality Sector is
a fundamental reference source that provides vital theoretical
frameworks and the latest innovative empirical research findings of
online social media in the tourism industry. While highlighting
topics such as e-business, mobile marketing, and smart tourism,
this publication explores user-generated content and the methods of
mobile strategies. This book is ideally designed for tour
developers, travel agents, restaurateurs, hotel management, tour
directors, entrepreneurs, social media analysts, managers, industry
professionals, academicians, researchers, and students.
