Turizm Endüstrisinin Dijital Geleceği

Abstract

Dijitalleşme ve dijital dönüşümün birçok sektörü radikal bir şekilde etkilediği gibi turizm sektörünü de kaçınılmaz bir şekilde tesir altına alacağı ve bu durumun artarak devam edeceği yadsınamaz bir gerçektir. Bu çalışma turizm endüstrisi içinde yer alan oyuncuların dijital dönüşüm kapsamında sürdürebilirliklerini sağlayabilmek için dahil olmaları gerekecek teknolojileri ve bu teknolojilere adaptasyon örnekleri üzerine odaklanmıştır. Çalışma kavramsal bir araştırma olup; dijital dönüşüm adımları, bu adımların Endüstri 4.0, Çin Yapımı 2025 ve Toplum 5.0 kapsamında değerlendirilmesi, bunların sektöre etkileri ve söz konusu etkilerin hangi yöne doğru evirileceği ile olası olumlu ve olumsuz etkileri tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca dijital dönüşümün olası olumlu ve olumsuz etkileri değerlendirilmiştir.
