“…In order to ensure sustainable development, investments that serve social responsibility and environmental practices along with cost advantage should be made (Yenisehirlioglu & Turkay, 2021). The level of sustainability in tourism is one of the key factors leading to the growth of the industry (Shafiee et al, 2022).…”

Sustainable development is an important issue for hotels as it is in all sectors. Managers try to manage processes by preserving all economic, social and environmental balances. At this point, technology is seen as the most important helper. In this context, the aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of technologies used in hotels in terms of sustainable development from the perspective of managers. In this study, interviews were conducted with the managers of 4and 5-star hotels. In total, 15 criteria have been determined. In the analysis of the criteria, the DEMATEL method, which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making techniques, was used. As a result of the findings, convenience, correct information and organizational compatibility criteria came to the fore as the first three criteria that most affected the other criteria. In addition, the criteria of competitive advantage, customer satisfaction and cost advantage were determined as the first three criteria that were most affected.

“…Wang et al (2020) established a dynamic tourist carrying capacity model using the SD approach to investigate how tourism investment, economic growth, environmental protection and infrastructure level affected tourism development. Shafiee et al (2022) used an SD approach to model the tendency toward smart tourism development. They found that if the current situation persists, the number of tourists will increase to 10 million by 2025.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the influence of postdisaster tourism development on the objective quality of life (QoL) of residents in Wenchuan County, simulate the long-run trend of postdisaster tourism development and QoL based on three proposed policy scenarios and formulate some practical suggestions to promote sustainable tourism development. Design/methodology/approach This study uses the system dynamic approach to develop a system dynamics (SD) model called “tourism–economy–environment–living” (TEEL) by using four subsystems: “the economic subsystem,” “the tourism subsystem,” “the environmental subsystem” and “the living subsystem.” Findings The results show that the influence of postdisaster tourism development on QoL is complex. Based on Butler’s destination life cycle theory, the influence of postdisaster tourism on objective QoL exhibits a nonlinear change closely tied to the development stages of tourist destinations. It showed that the QoL index increased after an initial decrease in the early stage (2009–2013) and then decreased in the later stage (2013–2019). Simulations of TEEL based on three different scenarios show that the current development path of tourism development is not ideal. The synergy scenario, highlighting the importance of the harmonious development of the TEEL, is the optimal scenario. Originality/value This study fills the gap in the literature on the influence of postdisaster tourism development on objective QoL from the perspective of SD. Modeling tourism development and objective QoL will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of whether and how tourism development can enhance residents’ QoL in disaster-affected areas.

“…Urban tourism is a way to transmit and learn about cultural heritage of countries [5], [6]. Moreover, cultural heritage is supported by communication and information technologies for its preservation [7]- [10], being accessible to a wider public causing knowledge dissemination, covering more spaces, going beyond countries borders (e.g., web pages, wiki pages, virtual spaces, on-line information centres) [11], [12], and supporting tourist planning (e.g., e-tourism, recommendation systems) [13]- [20].…”

An Ontology for Modeling Cultural Heritage Knowledge in Urban Tourism

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Urban tourism information available on Internet has been of enormous relevance to motivate the tourism in many countries. There exist many applications focused on promoting and preserving the cultural heritage, through urban tourism, which in turn demand a well-defined and standard model for representing the whole knowledge of this domain, thus ensuring interoperable and flexible applications. Current studies propose the use of ontologies to formally model such knowledge. Nonetheless, most of them only represent partial knowledge of cultural heritage or are restrictive to an indoor perspective (i.e., museum ontologies). In this context, we propose the ontology CURIOCITY (Cultural Heritage for Urban Tourism in Indoor/Outdoor environments of the CITY), to represent the cultural heritage knowledge based on UNESCO's definitions. CURIOCITY ontology has a three-level architecture (Upper, Middle, and Lower ontologies) in accordance with a purpose of modularity and levels of specificity. In this paper, we describe in detail all modules of CURIOCITY ontology and perform a comparative evaluation with state-of-the-art ontologies. Additionally, to demonstrate the suitability of CURIOCITY ontology, we show several touristic services offered through a framework supported in the ontology. The framework includes an automatic population process, that allows transforming a museum data repository (in CSV format) into RDF triples of CURIOCITY ontology to automatically populate the CURIOCITY repository, and facilities to develop a set of tourism applications and services, following the UNESCO's definitions.
