IoT Definition/Description | Author |
---|---|
IoT describes “scenarios in which Internet connectivity and computing capability extend to a variety of objects, devices, sensors, and everyday items”. | Rose et al. (2015, p. 7) |
IoT is a “network that can connect with anything anytime and anyplace by technologies of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification), WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) and 3G/4G/5G mobile communication, according to an agreed protocol, in order to identify, locate, track, monitor and manage smart objects”. | Car et al. (2019, p. 164) |
IoT is a global system that connects physical and virtual objects using interoperable ICT tools to enable advanced services. | Verma et al. (2021) |
IoT is a technology that uses information sensing technologies such as global positioning system (GPS) and radio frequency identification (RFID) to facilitate information exchange between objects or people and objects. | Huang et al. (2022) |
IoT is a network that uses information-sensing equipment to connect objects to the Internet following an agreed-upon protocol. It is designed to intelligently identify, position, monitor, track, and manage smart objects. | Feng et al. (2022) |
Definition/Description of Smart Tourism | Author |
---|---|
Smart tourism is “tourism supported by integrated efforts at a destination to collect and aggregate/harness data derived from physical infrastructure, social connections, government/organizational sources, and human bodies/minds in combination with the use of advanced technologies to transform that data into on-site experiences and business value-propositions with a clear focus on efficiency, sustainability, and experience enrichment”. | Gretzel et al. (2015, p. 181) |
Smart tourism leverages smart technologies to provide a personalized at-destination tourism experience through connectedness that is everywhere, information aggregation, and real-time synchronization. | Babli et al. (2016) |
Smart tourism is a social phenomenon in which information technologies, such as the Internet and wireless networks, are fused with tourism. | Byun et al. (2017) |
Smart tourism refers to the use of technologies like IoT, AI, cloud computing, big data, and VR to collect, analyze, and compute tourism data. | Huang et al. (2022) |
Smart tourism leverages IoT and digital information to create innovative solutions to problems facing the tourism industry, such as collecting data, developing forecasts, intelligent management, providing online services, and building customer relationships. | Flores-Crespo et al. (2022) |
