The challenges travelers face while using smart devices have not been researched in detail and are relatively unknown. While most studies have considered the usefulness of smart devices in tourism, negative perceptions of smart tourism have rarely been discussed. Thus, this study investigates travelers’ risk perceptions of smart tourism from a technology readiness perspective. It examines the impact of optimism, innovativeness, insecurity, and discomfort on travelers’ usage intentions of smart devices through their perceived risks and benefits. To test the proposed model and corresponding hypotheses, a partial least squares analysis was performed on data collected from 250 survey respondents. The results showed that the perceived benefits of smart devices had a significant effect on usage intentions of smart devices while traveling. It was also confirmed that the influence of perceived risks depends on the characteristics of travelers.

  • Smart Tourism City: Developments and Transformations
    sustainability Concept Paper Smart Tourism City: Developments and Transformations Pam Lee 1, William Cannon Hunter 2 and Namho Chung 2,* 1 College of Hotel & Tourism Management, Kyung Hee University, 26 Kyungheedae-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul 02447, Korea; [email protected] 2 Smart Tourism Education Platform, Kyung Hee University, 26 Kyungheedae-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul 02447, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-961-2353; Fax: +82-2-961-9557 Received: 13 April 2020; Accepted: 10 May 2020; Published: 12 May 2020 Abstract: Cities and tourism entities invest massive resources into smart system initiatives as information technologies are a key factor for a city’s destination competitiveness. Moreover cities around the world are increasingly recognizing the smart tourism city concept and related strategies as means of optimizing sustainable environments. Particularly for cities facing emerging issues of residents’ negative perceptions towards tourism, smart tourism city empowers a city to rise to this challenge by creating urban spaces that residents and visitors can enjoy together. However, smart tourism city research initiatives still fail to address the full spectrum of related and potential developments. This study presents a conceptual approach to defining smart tourism city: the smart city and its components are defined and contrasted with smart tourism and its components. The resulting convergence—smart tourism city—is then examined in light of a number of pioneering examples of smart tourism cities and its vital roles in the age of sustainable development. The main purpose of this study is to show the interests of locals and tourists context and the roles of ‘smart’ government leadership to researchers and practitioners.

Insofar as the objective of smart cities is to improve outcomes that are connected to people, systems and processes of businesses, government and other public- and private-sector entities, its main goal is to improve the quality of life of all residents. Accordingly, smart tourism has emerged over the past few years as a subset of the smart city concept, aiming to provide tourists with solutions that address specific travel related needs. Dubai is an emerging tourism destination that has implemented smart city and smart tourism platforms to engage various stakeholders. The objective of this study is to identify best practices related to Dubai’s smart city and smart tourism. In so doing, Dubai’s mission and vision along with key dimensions and pillars are identified in relation to the advancements in the literature while highlighting key resources and challenges. A Smart Tourism Dynamic Responsive System (STDRS) framework is proposed while suggesting how Dubai may able to enhance users’ involvement and their overall experience.

  • The Use of Smart Technology in Tourism: Evidence from Wearable Devices∗
    Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Management, December 2015, Vol. 3, No. 11-12, 224-234 doi: 10.17265/2328-2169/2015.12.002 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Use of Smart Technology in Tourism: Evidence From Wearable Devices∗ Roland Atembe University of Innsbruck, Republic of Austria The emergence of wearable devices has shifted internet from the conventional cyber space to becoming wearable on the body. This new paradigm shift has precipitated a lot of speculations about its impact on the tourism industry. Access to wearable web is predicted to drastically streamline the way tourists connect with stakeholders and the environment around them. Although it is relatively new, wearable technological devices are predicted to have a significant effect on people’s interaction. However, research describing the application of wearable devices in tourism is relatively lacking in academic literature. This paper examines the usage of wearable devices in tourism. The essay aims at contributing to the literature of wearable device and tourism. It also aims at providing an insight of the influence of wearable devices on tourists’ behavior. The paper provides an overview of wearable device functionalities and presents an insight of used cases in the tourism context. Keywords: wearable device, smart technology, tourism Introduction Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have substantially influenced the tourism industry, and they continue to serve as the main drivers for tourism innovations. We see evidence in literature that ICTs have drastically transformed the way tourism products are developed, presented, and offered (Buhalis, 2003; Buhalis & Law, 2008). The technological influence in the tourism industry does not only impact the suppliers, but also the consumers.

Email: [email protected] b IE Business School, Department of Marketing, Maria de Molina 12 5, 28105 Madrid, Spain. Email: [email protected] Introduction Concepts such as smart or smartness have evolved over time from rather narrow technological interpretations in the form of mobile devices to more nuanced applications involving geographical locations (e.g. smart cities, smart tourism destinations). As a result of this, smart places have arisen partly as a result of the widening impact of new and disruptive technologies on the spaces we live in, including cities, regions and countries (Hedlund, 2012; Zygiaris, 2013; Vanolo, 2014). Urban tourism destinations are not immune to these global trends, particularly as regards their strategic positioning (Buhalis and Amaranggana, 2014) to compete for larger and/or higher value share of the tourism market, regardless of whether their priority is leisure or business. In line with this, the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has developed substantially over the last two decades to deliver new experiences for tourists and visitors, while supporting wider automatization processes (Gretzel, 2011), which remain a common challenge for urban managers and tourism destination managers alike (Hughes and Moscardo, 2019).
