Abstract

The primary objective of this paper is to propose the definition of personalized digital tourism, which is a new concept in the field of tourism. This theoretical term has not been defined in the field of tourism, even though technology has been transforming travel habits for more than a decade. The article introduces the concept of Personalized Digital Tourism as a highlevel integration of theories like Cognitive Infocommunications, the Internet of Digital Realities, Behavioural research of Generation Y and Z, and AI-based data handling solutions to enhance their theoretical and practical outcomes in tourism. The paper first presents the main contribution of the paper, the definition of Personalized Digital Tourism, and then it discusses the most related scientific approaches such as CogInfoCom, Generation Theories, DR, and AI. Then the paper points out these new and rapid technological advancements of recent years in the tourism industry which have resulted in a transformation of human behaviour. The paper emphasizes the necessity of achieving a more advanced conceptual grasp of the field of Tourism science.
