Digital Transformation in Tourism-I-DIGIT 2019

Dear Colleagues

On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to invite you to participate in the International Congress on “Digital Transformation in Tourism” to be held on April 18-20, 2019 in partnership with Governorship of Düzce, Turkey.

Digitalism in now the new global trend. Nowadays inventions and applications are introduced almost daily at an unprecedented volume and this has not only revolutionized how we use things to do new things, but also the way we research, plan, experience holidays and share our holiday memories. Undoubtedly, tourism business cannot exist in isolation from digital revolution and digitalism appears to stand as a strong means for support of tourist experience in the long run. Most businesses, serving tourists, now realize that they need to adapt their products and services to the changes in the digitally consumed world. Tourism authorities, DMOs, tour operators, hoteliers, restaurateurs are all looking for the newest and greatest digital ways to reach their buyers persona and tailor their offering accordingly.

Digital tourism and its research however is in its infancy, and inevitably there are lots of myths, perceptions and misperceptions surrounding it. Further research is hence warranted to better understand digital trends in tourism and effects of digitalism on collaborative economy, online consumerism, co-creation of the tourist experience, regulations on the exchange economy, and pros and cons of doing digital research in a digitalized society with an emerging new digital language, behavior and creativity.

I-DIGIT-19 aims to provide a platform for attendees from academia, industry and government to discuss digital trends and innovative approaches in tourism business by sharing findings from rigorous and latest research and best-practice examples from different corners of the world. We believe that by thematic tracks, together with key note speakers, I-DIGIT-19 will present attendees a great diversity of theoretical and practical information designed to inform their digital marketing, research and management practices.

We particularly encourage papers which present critical, theorized perspectives and those which focus on marketing, research, education, consumption and destination planning, development and management practices around the digital tourism.

Accepted and presented papers will be published in one of the supporting journals after the peer-review process.

We would be very honored to meet you all in Düzce at the I-DIGIT-19, "one of its first kind."

Best Regards,
