Information Systems Journal Special Issue Call for Papers Transforming to a Sustainable Visitor Economy with Information Systems

Manuscript deadline: 31 July 2022

Special Issue Guest Editors: Brad McKenna, University of East Anglia Wenjie Cai, University of Greenwich Tuure Tuunanen, University of Jyväskylä

The visitor economy, which includes the tourism, hospitality, and events sectors, has the potential to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We believe that information systems research can bring new insights and produce new knowledge for a sustainable digital visitor economy. Therefore, this special issue calls for new theoretical developments at the intersection of the visitor economy, information systems, and sustainability. Examples of sustainability include good health and wellbeing (SDG3), gender equality (SDG5), decent work and economic growth (SDG8), industry, innovation, and infrastructure (SDG9), or sustainable cities and communities (SDG11), among others. We welcome qualitative, quantitative, design science, mixed methods, and conceptual papers within any aspect of the visitor economy. We encourage submissions that also explore the environmental, social, cultural, and economic impacts of the visitor economy from an information systems perspective.

The Call for Papers is now available at: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/13652575/Call%20for%20Paper...

All papers must be aligned with at least one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: - The role of information systems in cultural, natural landscapes, and heritage preservation. - Artificial intelligence, robotics, and service jobs. - Information systems, wellbeing, and travel (e.g., digital passports, e-mindfulness, digital-free tourism). - Technological innovation and hospitality food waste. - The sharing economy, peer-to-peer accommodation, and overtourism. - The role of information systems in social exclusion/inclusion (e.g., LGBT+, disabled travellers, ethnic minorities, income inequalities, gender, accessibility, and digital literacy). - Smart tourist destinations, hospitality and exhibition venues, or mega-events (e.g., Olympics, FIFA World Cup, Eurovision Song Contest). - (Un)ethical use or the dark side of information systems in the visitor economy. - Community-based tourism, pro-poor tourism, social entrepreneurship, and digital empowerment. - Information systems and sustainable destination and event management. - Innovation in sustainable operations, marketing, and management. - Social media in a sustainable visitor economy (the impact of glamourisation, influencers, fake news, or conspiracy theories). - How economic impacts as a result of digitalisation has knock-on-effects for visitors, employees, residents, and other stakeholder’s health and wellbeing. - Digital transformation of the visitor economy in the post-COVID era. - Sustainability issues arising from the digitalisation of visitor infrastructure. - The design of sustainable information systems solutions (e.g., design thinking, design science). - Digital innovations and the visitor economy’s impact on the climate and natural resources.
