Global natural and manmade events are exposing the fragility of the tourism industry and its impact on the global economy. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism contributed 10.3% to the global GDP and employed 333 million people but saw a significant decline due to the pandemic. Sustainable and smart tourism requires collaboration from all stakeholders and a comprehensive understanding of global and local issues to drive responsible and innovative growth in the sector. This paper presents an approach for leveraging big data and deep learning to discover holistic, multi-perspective (e.g., local, cultural, national, and international), and objective information on a subject. Specifically, we develop a machine learning pipeline to extract parameters from the academic literature and public opinions on Twitter, providing a unique and comprehensive view of the industry from both academic and public perspectives. The academic-view dataset was created from the Scopus database and contains 156,759 research articles from 2000 to 2022, which were modelled to identify 33 distinct parameters in 4 categories: Tourism Types, Planning, Challenges, and Media and Technologies. A Twitter dataset of 485,813 tweets was collected over 18 months from March 2021 to August 2022 to showcase the public perception of tourism in Saudi Arabia, which was modelled to reveal 13 parameters categorized into two broader sets: Tourist Attractions and Tourism Services. The paper also presents a comprehensive knowledge structure and literature review of the tourism sector based on over 250 research articles. Discovering system parameters are required to embed autonomous capabilities in systems and for decision-making and problem-solving during system design and operations. The work presented in this paper has significant theoretical and practical implications in that it improves AI-based information discovery by extending the use of scientific literature, Twitter, and other sources for autonomous, holistic, dynamic optimizations of systems, promoting novel research in the tourism sector and contributing to the development of smart and sustainable societies.

This study aims to reveal pre-service teachers’ experience in virtual museum design that they can use in social studies teaching, and their opinions on virtual museum applications. In line with this purpose, phenomenology design was used as one of the qualitative research approaches. Selected by the criterion sampling method, the study sample consisted of a total of 15 pre-service social studies teachers (9 female, 6 male) who were studying in year 4 at the Department of Social Studies Education of a State University in the 2021/22 academic year. During the 9-week virtual museum design process, virtual museums on “epidemics, women’s rights, population, environmental problems, climate, human rights, and migration” were designed through the Artsteps application. The study was executed in a dynamic manner in co-operation and interaction with pre-service teachers based on the principles of design, implementation and evaluation. A semi-structured interview form was used as a data collection tool to determine the opinions of pre-service teachers about virtual museums and the use of virtual museums in social studies teaching. The data was analysed by content analysis. The results revealed that the virtual museum design process positively affected the views of pre-service teachers and that virtual museums are very effective and applicable tools in social studies teaching. This study suggests that virtual museums be used in social studies courses since they offer rich content to achieve meaningful learning in social studies courses owing to easy accessibility, and that future studies focus on examining the effects of popularizing virtual museums designed with gamification and guided content.
