The Impact

Emerging technologies present an increasing assortment of approaches to support and enrich learning environments. The purpose of this study was there-fore to investigate the impact of technology as an educational tool for tourism in-formation. Based on content analysis a total of 22 studies on technology and tourism published over a 12 year period from 2006 and 2018 were examined, systematically presented and discussed. The presented study was qualitative in nature. It highlighted the extent to which travellers have embraced technology for tourism information searches and sources. Recurring trends based on review of literature were identified. Two main themes were observed, first, being technolo-gy in tourism education and second, being the use of user-generated content in tourism. In conclusion it can be established that learning about travel and tourism through social media was not only for travellers who depend on tourism information but also tourism companies who depend on traveller re-views and marketing promotions for their facilities.

The Subject

The diversity of the tourism industry makes it difficult for those educators trying to develop tourism education to meet the needs of the industry as a whole. Since there is no real agreement between government, industry and academics in most countries as to what actually constitutes the tourism industry, the requirements to identify accurately the needs of an undefined sector and to design training and education to meet those needs are problematic. At the same time, there has been a resistance on the part of the industry to formal qualifications in travel and tourism, partly as a result of the youth of the subject area. Consequently, the development of an harmonious and mutually beneficial education-industry interface has been inhibited and this raises many issues for travel and tourism educators in the 1990s.
