Description:

Journal of Smart Tourism aims to advance cutting-edge research examining how smart technology transforms the tourism industry, reshapes business models, and influences behavior within business networks and travel services, including innovations in design, products, devices, and processes. Drawing from both end-user (traveler) and organizational perspectives, the journal explores theoretical and empirical foundations of smart tourism ecosystems, with particular focus on smart cities, heritage preservation, historic urban centers, and sustainable environments. The journal welcomes research that develops new methodologies or synthesizes existing knowledge to advance not only technology-driven tourism but also authentic aspects of general hospitality, leisure, sports, entertainment, and other tourism-related fields. This includes contextual studies of tourist behavior patterns, communication protocols, media preferences, and travel decision-making processes. These insights enable tourism and hospitality organizations to develop innovative business models and applications for the AI-powered smart tourism era.
