New technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analytics transform and disrupt tourism.

Tourism destinations and firms need to continuously update and upgrade their technological capabilities and practices.

Case studies will be presented and innovative technological practices will be discussed. The workshop is useful and will provide numerous practical implications for tourism firms and destination management organisations alike. Participants will benefit by listening and networking with international experts as well as by staying in tune with the dynamically changing digital advances and disruptions.
