Challenges and Opportunities of Smart Tourism Cities
The concept of the smart tourism city highlights digital convergence in
cities that are tourism destinations and outlines directions for
achieving greater destination competitiveness. The application of smart
city principles to tourism destinations opens up opportunities for a
variety of new features and functions of IT-enabled tourism products,
systems, and services. Importantly, the notion of smart tourism cities
also promises a convergence of residents and visitors who now co-create
value in multiple tourism contexts (e.g. Airbnb, Yelp, Uber, Convention
& Event, and Google Maps).
Further convergence happens between touristic and residential city
infrastructure, with tourism businesses making investments in the latter
through public-private partnerships. This particular type of convergence
can lead to superior on-site experiences, as travelers can experience
enhancement in regards to their traveling patterns (e.g., preference,
time, space, and budget), as well as access to and use of entertainment,
restaurants, shopping and banking. Yet, the radically changing
IT-enabled city and tourism destination is also prone to encounter a
wide range of challenges to (co-)create superior tourism experiences.
Careful design and development are therefore critical. Effective smart
tourism city design promises to significantly contribute to an
integration of tourism into the fabric of cities, which is increasingly
important given recent anti-tourism sentiment.
In previous studies of smart cities and tourism, researchers have argued
for technology-driven urban development with the goal of enhancing
quality of life, recognizing that IT can facilitate not only
opportunities but also bring about challenges in contemporary urban
cities. Research has also focused on enhancing the quality of touristic
experiences. When an urban city infrastructure integrates with technical
tourism infrastructure, for example, WiFi plays a particularly important
role to facilitate communication with other technologies, such as
connecting tourism end users with the Internet of Things via their
personal mobile devices. Smart tourism cities and tourists have to rely
on mobile phone networks for enhancing their tourism services and
experiences. Smart tourism cities research needs to take into account
different types and levels of convergence from theoretical and practical
perspectives. Interdisciplinary perspectives are essential for studying
these different forms of convergence.
Using this special issue, we will invite research that addresses the
smart tourism phenomenon from a variety of perspectives. What is needed
is smart city and smart tourism research that synthesizes new concepts
and facilitates the movement toward smart tourism cities. With this
realization, the purpose of this special issue in the Asia Pacific
Journal of Tourism Research(APJTR) (SSCI-listed) is to explore various
opportunities and issues related to smart tourism cities.
Potential Topics in Smart Tourism Cities
The special issue’s particular interest lies in papers that focus on (1)
traveler behavior and technology-enhanced experiences in urban
environments (2) businesses within smart tourism cities, and (3) smart
tourism city development and governance. The scope and content of the
paper does not have to pertain to the Asia Pacific geographical region.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
IoT and smart tourism cities
Concepts and theories of smart tourism cities
Case studies of smart tourism cities
Technologies for designing and design thinking for smart tourism cities
Behaviors and experiences of smart city tourists
Tourist-resident value co-creation
Swarms, social network services and collective decision making in smart
tourism cities
IT architectures, models, and IT artifacts for smart tourism cities
Business models, business processes and the role of IT in smart tourism
cities
Barriers and stepping stones for the developments of smart tourism cities
Acceptance, adoption, and diffusion of IT within smart tourism cities
Ensuring privacy and security in smart tourism cities
Policy, strategy, and management of smart tourism cities
Network analysis of value creation and exchange in networked smart
tourism cities
Business intelligence for smart tourism cities
Research methods for the analysis of smart tourism cities-related phenomena
