Project Details
Description
Collaborating with experts in the tourism industry and renowned researchers from China (Southwestern University of Finance and Economics), Macau (Macao Institute for Tourism Studies, City University of Macau) and Hong Kong (The Education University of Hong Kong), this IIDS project enables local and overseas academic scholars, teachers, government officers and industry practitioners in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area to exchange ideas on the latest development and technologies applied in smart tourism.
Various types of activities are proposed in order to achieve the objectives of the IIDS project. The two-day conference will revolve around the theme of AI applications and research directions in smart tourism. The conference will help scholars familiarise themselves with the latest technology in smart tourism and smart business, foster research collaboration between Hong Kong, Guangdong, Macau, Greater Bay Area and overseas, and stimulate discussion to bring the research area of smart tourism forward. The three seminars focus on the applications of AI in smart tourism settings to students and teachers so as to acquire knowledge of applications of AI in smart tourism, enhancing their learning experience.
Three outcomes and benefits are identified in this project. First, new research ideas, theoretical approaches and development of AI and smart tourism will be generated through a conference (hosted in Hong Kong) and a series of seminars (organised in Hong Kong, Macau and China). Second, these inter-institutional events serve as a platform to strengthen the research community among local academics and researchers of different institutions for possible research collaborations. In particular, junior scholars seeking research guidance and support will inevitably benefit from the conference and seminars. Third, having acquired up-to-date skills and knowledge of AI and smart tourism in the series of seminars, new ideas and perspectives regarding smart tourism will be shared among students, teachers and industry practitioners so as to enhance their learning experience, enabling knowledge transfer and sharing among different stakeholders.
