AI for Sustainable Tourism Development: Destination Management, Heritage, and Innovation

The tourism sector is undergoing a profound transformation as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly intertwined with the global pursuit of sustainable development. Advances in intelligent technologies are changing how destinations are planned, managed, and experienced, creating new possibilities for addressing some of the industry's most pressing challenges. At the same time, growing concern for environmental stewardship and social responsibility is prompting a rethinking of traditional approaches to tourism development. AI is emerging as a powerful tool for supporting more informed decision-making and helping tourism stakeholders respond to changing demands. As the industry seeks a more sustainable future, understanding the role of AI in shaping that transition has become increasingly important. AI for Sustainable Tourism Development: Destination Management, Heritage, and Innovation examines how AI is reshaping approaches to sustainable tourism in an increasingly digital world. Bringing together diverse scholarly perspectives, this book explores the role of intelligent technologies in supporting more effective destination management and strengthening long-term sustainability goals. Covering topics such as destination attractiveness, second chance tourism, and location-based media, this book is an excellent academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, destination management professionals, tourism planners, heritage conservation specialists, place marketing practitioners, digital transformation professionals, tourism entrepreneurs, policymakers, and more.
