Transforming Smart City and Smart Sustainable Tourism Projecting Artificial Intelligence and IoT: Immersive Potential for Revolutionizing Urban Living and Enhancing Travel Experience

Abstract

The swift progress of technology has led to the emergence of the notions of smart cities and smart tourism, which are expected to significantly transform both urban living and travel experiences. Modern technology is used by smart cities to maximize urban services, increase sustainability, and improve the quality of life for their citizens. A subset of this more comprehensive strategy called “smart tourism” focuses on using these technologies to improve travelers' experiences and make their travels more frictionless, educational, and pleasurable. Cities that effectively utilize technology have the potential to improve not just the standard of living for its citizens but also offer tourists unique and sustainable experiences. These ideas will surely be crucial in determining how future cities and tourist destinations are shaped as they develop further. This chapter explores the mutually beneficial link between smart tourism and smart cities, emphasizing the advantages, difficulties, and potential future developments.
