Beschreibung
This book envisions the future of tourism in an economy that is largely automated. 'Robonomics' is the term given to this economic system that relies on robots, artificial intelligence and automation technologies for the production of goods and delivery of services instead of human labour. The volume examines the unique technological, socioeconomic and political situation that such an economy will create, and reflects on how tourism is then produced, consumed and paid for. The chapters explore some controversial solutions to the challenges of the robonomic economic system, such as redefinition of human rights, robot rights and universal basic income schemes. The chapters also consider the transition to a robonomic tourism ecosystem and the adjustments and innovations that will be required of consumers, industry and society.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The contributors of this thought-provoking and forward-looking book expertly explain and illustrate how automation, and the economic principles connected to it, will transform every aspect of tourism. Understanding the foundations and potential implications of robonomics in tourism is a must for anyone who studies, researches, governs, designs, benefits from, or depends on tourism. * Ulrike Gretzel, University of Southern California, USA * Glad to endorse this book as an essential survival manual for navigating the tourism and hospitality industry in the era of robotics and automation. Offering invaluable insights into the opportunities and obstacles of future tourism within a robonomic world, where robots, artificial intelligence, and automation technologies reign supreme, it equips industry professionals with the knowledge and strategies needed to thrive in this rapidly evolving landscape. * Dimitrios Buhalis, Bournemouth University, UK * Robotic servers are an inescapable reality and are revolutionizing tourism. Penned by a team of robonomics experts, this eye-opening book takes readers on a journey toward the future of tourism, inspiring them to embrace the transformative potential of robotics in tourism. No one can escape robots, so prepare for a robotic-driven future of tourism with this must-read guide exploring the frontier. * Rosanna Leung, National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism, Taiwan *Weitere Details
