This chapter describes how Tourism 4.0 is a concept that combines tourism and the fourth industrial revolution, and although the literature in this field is very scarce, this concept has been explored in some research projects, such as the government-sponsored research project in Slovenian tourism. People with various kinds of access requirements represent a combination of challenges and opportunities for the tourism industry. Tourism 4.0 set up the main goals of making tourism accessible to everyone at any time. Therefore, this new phenomenon may have an essential role in the development of accessible tourism. The adoption of technological components in accessible tourism enables the development of a new technological solution that can facilitate access to tourism products for disabled people, contributing to the development of accessible tourism. The new term Accessible@Tourism 4.0 is the answer to the role of the fourth industrial revolution in accessible tourism, emphasizing the effect of Industry 4.0 components in the tourism sector.

Growing consumerism and population worldwide raises concerns about society’s sustainability aspirations. This has led to calls for concerted efforts to shift from the linear economy to a circular economy (CE), which are gaining momentum globally. CE approaches lead to a zero-waste scenario of economic growth and sustainable development. These approaches are based on semi-scientific and empirical concepts with technologies enabling 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) and 6Rs (reuse, recycle, redesign, remanufacture, reduce, recover). Studies estimate that the transition to a CE would save the world in excess of a trillion dollars annually while creating new jobs, business opportunities and economic growth. The emerging industrial revolution will enhance the symbiotic pursuit of new technologies and CE to transform extant production systems and business models for sustainability. This article examines the trends, availability and readiness of fourth industrial revolution (4IR or industry 4.0) technologies (for example, Internet of Things [IoT], artificial intelligence [AI] and nanotechnology) to support and promote CE transitions within the higher education institutional context. Furthermore, it elucidates the role of universities as living laboratories for experimenting the utility of industry 4.0 technologies in driving the shift towards CE futures. The article concludes that universities should play a pivotal role in engendering CE transitions.

AbstractWith the rapid success of the digital enterprises in the 21st Century, industrial manufacturing is expected to be approaching the fourth industrial revolution, coined Industry 4.0 (I4.0). The instrumental technology that will drive this evolution is the integration of the physical and digital factory into one cyber physical system. There is consensus among academics and industry alike that there will be an integral paradigm shift in how offerings will be developed and manufactured. While there is much confidence that the future factory will have unprecedented capabilities to satisfy complex customer demands, there is little agreement on how individual organisations can utilise these trends. This paper presents a literature review identifying reoccurring themes and trends of I4.0 and their expected effect on future manufacturing. Central characteristics, challenges and opportunities are identified and discussed. The findings can provide support in developing actionable strategies for industry to direct I4.0 endeavours.

This work is devoted to the analysis of “Industry 4.0” concepts as an incentive to increase the competitiveness of the food and processing industry of the Russian Federation. The article explores the phenomenon of the fourth industrial revolution as a modern stage of scientific, technical and technological progress. The upcoming fourth industrial revolution is a serious challenge for the government. The main competition of the new revolution is not so much in the technologies themselves but in the skills and education that are necessary for their use. Competition is escalating at the level of education systems but ready-made specialists in the context of globalization still need to be kept, and nowadays the low level of salaries in Russia contributes to a further brain drain. Finally, in the development of Industry 4.0 a systematic approach is important taking into account national characteristics but today it is not in Russia. The development of individual elements of the new industrial revolution is unstable that is why the additional advantages of interdisciplinary research and development are missed. A new round in the development of production will greatly change the social landscape. In order to prevent fatal mass technological unemployment it is necessary to create a social ecosystem for the smooth introduction of technologies with their social design. It is shown that it is accompanied by increased integration, concentration of economic assets under the control of larger business entities. In this regard, the possible consequences of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the social and humanitarian sphere are examined, and the problem is also raised regarding the development of the Russian food and processing industry of the Russian Federation.

This article provides an overview of the effects of tourism industry 4.0 on the development of Indonesian tourism law. So that the laws and regulations in the field of Indonesian tourism are able to facilitate the principles of service trade in the General Agreement on Trade and Services (GATS). With the ratification of the WTO Agreement, Indonesia must abide by these principles by not ignoring national interests in order to foster good relations with each WTO member. Therefore, the Government of Indonesia is expected to be able to utilize some of the exclusion rules in the GATS to provide opportunities for Indonesian tourism businesses to prepare themselves in the global tourism services trade competition. The development of Indonesian tourism law now, is in a position to be able to facilitate the development of the global tourism service business with the 4.0 industrial revolution which introduces applications on intelligent devices and artificial intelligence speeds that cannot be dammed. Mapping the impact of globalization and any efforts that must be made by the Indonesian government in developing tourism laws so that they can take advantage of the globalization of world trade in tourism services.

The main subject of the World Economic Forum 2016 in Davos was the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), characterized by, according to the chairman of the world economic fund Klaus Schwab, a combination of technologies that blur the boundaries between the physical, digital and biological spheres. Modern technologies are changing as fast as ever, creating new challenges and identifying promising opportunities for development. Our response to the challenges of Industry 4.0 is the neo-industrialization of the Russian economy, based on the use of modern industrial technologies and the development of human capital. However, the upcoming fourth industrial revolution is a serious challenge for the government. Unfortunately, most experts are not inclined to be optimistic about Russia’s prospects in this race. The main competition of the new revolution is not that much about technologies themselves but about the skills and education that are necessary for their application. Competition is escalating at the level of education systems, but ready-made specialists in the context of globalization still need to be maintained, and so far, the low level of salaries in Russia only contributes to a further ‘brain drain’. Finally, national characteristics and systematic approach are important in the Industry 4.0 development. The development of new industrial revolution elements is uneven, which is why the additional advantages of interdisciplinary research and development are missed out on.The task delivered by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin was to create a ‘smart’ economy, which determines the need for the rapid development of science and the dynamic implementation of its achievements. Since this task covers many aspects of life, a special integrating indicator is required to assess the success of its implementation. The concept of ‘technological structure’ is claiming its role today.
