The tourism and hospitality sector is evolving at a rapid pace and increasing structural changes can be noticed at different levels of the industry (e.g., Tourism service providers, Tour operators, Transport operators, Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs), tourists, and host communities). Innovative tourism and hospitality services are then needed to cater to the contemporary and sophisticated demand.<\/p>\n

The 2017 IBCR conference on Tourism and hospitality intends to create a forum that brings together academics and practitioners in the domain of interest to discuss tourism and hospitality issues in the contemporary digital economy. Issues such as online offers and online bookings, smart tourism and technology, and innovative hospitality, to mention a few, are of great interest to both academics and practitioners. The conference is expected not only to boost thoughts, but also to provide viable solutions and meaningful future directions to the tourism and hospitality sector. To bestow further credence to the conference theme, Marrakech (Morocco), the ocher city, is selected to be the host city. Marrakech is one of the busiest tourist hub\/destination in the world and has a great<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
