Emerald Publishing Limited Tourism Innovation in the Digital Era: Big Data, AI and Technological Transformation
Digitalization and artificial intelligence are increasingly influencing modes of travel planning, exploration of new destinations, and promotion of them. The potential of new technologies to completely overhaul the tourism and hospitality industry is emerging; new generations of tourists will have radically different expectations and requirements in relation to today's tourists. The sharing economy and the experience economy strongly influence the creation of new business models in tourism. Many low-income economies can potentially benefit from this digital transformation and others are at risk of being left behind if they fail to embrace this moment. To explore how and why, ten chapters are presented here in Tourism Innovation in the Digital Era, ranging from topics as diverse as big data analytics in tourism marketing to the impact of AI to the use of CSR in competitiveness amongst hotel groups. Providing multidisciplinary approaches, readers will learn more about the organizational impacts of digitalization and artificial intelligence in tourism and hospitality. The book series New Perspectives in Tourism and Hospitality Management positions organizational change and behavior in the tourism and hospitality sector at its heart, providing interdisciplinary research in this field and joining the areas of organizational studies and tourism/hospitality management.

Emerald Publishing Limited Sport and Tourism: Strategies to Develop Tourist Destinations
The links between high profile sports events and tourism are increasingly apparent, yet comparatively little attention has been paid to lower profile sports-related travel. Developing this type of travel provides clear economic and social impacts - employment opportunities, investment, development, the foundation of new infrastructure and the improvement and reinforcement of local communities. Sport and Tourism offers a comprehensive analysis of how and why interorganizational cooperation between sports and tourism occurs to develop tourist destinations. Considering new strategies and crisis management programs, the chapter authors cover a range of sports from football and cycling to winter sports and hiking in countries around the world, such as China, Croatia, Greece, India, Italy, Malaysia, Portugal, UK and Slovakia. In confronting growing concerns around environmental, social and economic issues facing sports and tourism, this collection presents different perspectives to develop new plans for future needs and problems. Sport and Tourism provides an opportunity to stimulate academic research on the relationship between sport and tourism with multidisciplinary approaches. Furthermore, this work encourages discussion among international scholars on how to stimulate cooperation strategies on sport and tourism to develop tourist destinations.
