AI, robotics, haptic technologies and VR are transforming the hospitality, tourism and leisure industries whether it is food service delivery or music festivals experiences. So, are we witnessing the end of human connection or the dawn of new possibilities? In the future, do we need hotel managers or will they be replaced by an AI algorithm. Can a robot service a hotel bedroom? There are so many unanswered questions with intended and unintended consequences.
We invite you to submit a research paper for a special edition of Annals of Tourism Research Empirical Insights exploring the real-world impact of these technologies, from AI-driven personalization to robotic service delivery, brain-computer interfaces and XR experiences.
