CALL FOR PAPERS CAUTHE 2017: Conference Stream on ‘ICT, Disruptive Technologies & the Future’

The world has seen more technological change in the last 5 years than the previous 150 years and given the rate of exponential growth attributed to Moore’s Law it is difficult to imagine what the future could hold. The advent of human level artificial intelligence, the significance of augmented reality and the impact of driverless cars are only some examples of the numerous technological developments that will reshape the system of tourism. The internet has moved from once being a military project to the essence of consumers’ and firms’ daily and business life. Michio Kaku in the book Physics of the Futures describes a world of brain computer interfaces in which we can move objects with thought power, everything that Google Glass aspires to be is now on a contact lens and haptic technologies means Elvis, the Beatles and Michael Jackson can be recreated in Las Vegas. As the theme of the CAUTHE 2017 is “Time for Big Ideas: Re-Thinking the Field for Tomorrow” we invite you to contribute your ideas and research in order to explore ICT, disruption and the future whether it is a case study, a conceptual framework or empirical research – all about the technology of tomorrow and tourism from a demand, supply and/or industry/destination approach.

It is proposed that papers presented in the track will be included in a forthcoming book on ICT, Disruption and the Future to be published by Channelview.

Working paper submissions of no more than 1,500 words are due by 31 October 2016, while full research papers of no more than 5,000 words are due by 17 October 2016.
