Introduction
.
The digital era has opened new horizons in the world of tourism, a constantly evolving sector.
My latest book, “Digital Media and Tourism: Innovation in Communication and Personalized Experiences”, which is about to be published, explores this fascinating evolution.
.
As I often like to say, paraphrasing Marshall McLuhan, a fundamental author in media theory: “Tourism is a medium, the tourist experience is the message.”
Therefore, in this book “Digital Media and Tourism: Innovation in Communication and Personalized Experience”, it is innovatively and concretely explored how tourism, as a medium, and the tourist experience, as a message, are intrinsically linked and influenced by the digital era.
In this context, the book delves innovatively and concretely into how tourism and the tourist experience are intrinsically linked and influenced by the era of digital technologies.
.
This volume delves into the changes in the tourism sector in the digital age, examining how digital media are redefining not only communication strategies but also the entire tourist experience.
From the integration of emerging technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence, to the proposal of “ExplorAI”, an innovative AI-based tourist experience system, the book provides a detailed and interdisciplinary analysis of how digitalization is shaping the future of tourism.
Each chapter offers new perspectives, examples, case studies, and strategies, making the book a valuable resource for students, industry professionals, and strategic decision-makers.
