- Abstract
With the upgrading of tourism informatization and the emergence of building smarter cities, smarter tourism has become the key point of the construction of tourism informatization and front-line problems of theoretical studies in all parts of China. As smarter tourism is still at its infant stage, we have not established or reached consensus about its basic concept and relevant theoretical system, unable to effectively guide the practice. This will lead to the confusion of tourism information system or project construction, isolated island of information as well as huge waste of resources resulting from the errors of project construction. Based on the restrospect of the origin and development conditions of smarter tourism and the comment of available concept, we propose the basic concept of smarter tourism. Based on the definition, a CAA framework of smarter tourism is proposed, which is composed of three levels; its capabilities, attributes and applications. This framework emphatically elaborates the four core technologies of smarter tourism different from traditional tourism information system and its value supply to the four application objects; tourists, residents governments and enterprises. The main contributions of the paper are; 1. the basic concept of smarter tourism is clarified based on the historical retrospect and comment; 2. a CAA three leveled construction framework of smarter tourism is proposed; 3. four core information technologies of smarter tourism are introduced; the Internet of things, mobile communication, cloud computing and artificial intelligent technology; 4. value supply of smarter tourism based on multiple stakeholders is elaborated.
