旅游管理论文哪里有？笔者认为从研究结果和本研究的讨论章节来看，本研究提出了一些建议。很明显，年轻一代追随科技潮流，对科技的使用印象更深刻，因此，一个目的地越聪明，就越能吸引高消费能力的一代，目的地被参观或审查的次数越多，它会吸引更多的游客。
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.2 Realistic Background
The new age of tourism, unlike its previous phase, involves the use of e-tourism which is beneficial to the ecosystem. Smart tourism for a very long time in this new age has benefited from new technologies that are being introduced to the world and smart tourism evolves as these technologies evolve, along with internet-based technologies. The new age of smart tourism brings about continuity, which does not only include physical space but also an integrated platform that is created in such a way that people and objects can always co-exist together. This data flow does not only shape the consumer’s road maps but also becomes their personalized recommendation guide during their tour. In this new phase, it is safe to say, sustainability, personalized products, and co-production are gaining importance. In this new phase and era of technology use, even tourism consumers are re-defining themselves, they have a sense of responsibility, are aware of sustainability, and are aware of their surroundings. These tourists create their own experience by having a knowledge of this new technology, tourism sectors through this data flow can also provide personalized recommendations to these users, thereby providing and proving their efficiency, strengthening business competition, and also not failing to mention consumer satisfaction.
Smart tourism destinations which are also parts of smart tourism are equipped with this smart technology information, which is all used for the improvement of the tourism experience and also make planning events easier. It is also necessary to state without coating words that smart tourism has taken over the tourism industry and has greatly immersed the tourism industry into the technology world. Smart tourism, which has been defined in different ways by many researchers and attracting great attention to it, is a summary term for specific technologies and technology-driven infrastructures that provide data, connectivity that cannot be imagined and in ways that were not possible before, the sensor technology in many ways lies at the core of smart technology. Many other technologies like Wi-Fi, near-field communication (NFC), smartphones/mobile connectivity, radio-frequency- identification (RFID), data warehouses both sophisticated and unsophisticated, and data mining algorithms are all also considered as very important parts in the creation of all smart technology infrastructures. Furthermore, this research work states that smart technology contains different types of smart computing technologies that include hardware, software, and network technologies used. In providing real-time awareness of the real world and advanced analysis to help people make more smart decisions, which also includes actions that make a great impact in business brand processes and performances.
CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY
3.1 Introduction
(Boote & Belle, 2005, p.3) “A researcher cannot carry out research without understanding first the literature in the field, not understanding the past research works puts a researcher at a disadvantage”. As shown, a literature review has been conducted by the researcher and academic articles were the main focus for the literature review, journals and books were also looked at. The researcher also made use of technology and future tourism websites to gain more knowledge about the topic. For the successful completion of this research, it was deemed necessary that a thorough overview of literary works from both past and present within this thesis to re-enforce not only arguments but also lay the foundation for this work. A lot of works has been done on smart tourism development, consequences, and antecedents but not a lot of work relating to Nigeria has been done. It is aimed that a reader can pick up this thesis and be enlightened to the level of smart tourism development in Nigeria and its future trends. For the primary research, semi-structured interviews were conducted and questionnaires were also distributed to get enough data for the study. Interviews and questionnaires were distributed and conducted with professionals, educators, researchers, students who study in the tourism field, and industry leaders within the tourism and technology field. In conclusion, due to the production of technologies and recent innovations, little knowledge is known about this subject on a large scale. For this purpose, the researcher had to seek out a small sample size of knowledgeable persons to gain effective results.
CHAPTER 5 DISCUSSION
5.1 Introduction
For this research purpose, it is necessary to discuss the results of the data analysis in the previous chapter. This chapter follows the order of research questions, theoretically analyzing the effects of smart tourism on smart tourism businesses in Abuja. The data from the interview section, associated with the objective and secondly, the questionnaire questions also associated with the research questions and objectives have also been discussed, which is related to the demographic characteristics, the influence of smart technology on smart tourism business and not leaving out the result to the development of smart tourism. The most important level of the integration of smart tourism into smart businesses, is the ability of brand owners to identify the need, use, and importance of smart tourism
5.2 Main findings
The study on antecedents and consequences of smart tourism development has been of interest as a research subject for a lot of researchers all over the world. It has been noted that further development of smart tourism and integration of technology in the tourism sector in Abuja will not only bring about a better tourism experience but will also further develop the industry and put it in a good light. They’re based on this background; it is necessary to understand how this can be done and what needs to be done to influence and affect these changes. Technology use in a destination influences the choice of a tourist to visit or not, a destination that is smart will lead to higher tourist satisfaction and tourist loyalty towards a destination and the tourism sector of a city at large.
5.2.1 Demography
Gender
Regarding the role that gender plays in the sample, genders are seen as part of an important demography in sample size. However, this study finds that gender is not of great importance when there was a clear difference between the male participants and the female participants, the male participants were higher in number.
Age
When it comes to research works done in the past, it has been indicated that age difference plays an important role in determining the technological use when it comes to tourists, age can determine what a tourist looks for at a destination site, the importance of technology to a tourist and the usage of technology. It was noticeable that people between the age of 25-35 had more interest in smart tourism and towards this survey. This study is justified due to the fact, that the younger age, had more interest in technology than the other age groups.
Profession
When it comes to measuring the use and development of smart tourism in Abuja, it has been found, that more focus was placed on those who are employed, mostly in tourism with a high percentage, however, students who specialize in the field of tourism industry and smart tourism were also considered for the purpose of this study.
CHAPTER 6 CONCLUSION, RECOMMENDATIONS, LIMITATIONS, AND SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE STUDIES
6.1 conclusion
This research study did not only look at smart tourism development, it also examined the antecedents and consequences. Further investigation also revealed the influence smart tourism has on both destination sites and the tourists who patronize these brands. Abuja was picked as the case study for this research, due to the fact that Abuja is the capital city of Nigeria, any development done has to first happen in Abuja before being extended to other parts of Nigeria. Looking at the data and findings gotten, there is a relationship that runs between smart tourism, destination sites, and the demographic characteristics of the tourists who visit. Thereby, looking at it from a theoretical point, this paper targets mainly, antecedents and consequences of smart tourism development and every other connection of smart tourism to destinations and the tourists.
