The digital tourist
The digital tourist

Summary/Abstract: The digital transformation of business environment and the consumer behavior have also influenced tourism practice, both from tourism agents’ perspective and of the tourists’ one. The present paper presents a systematic literature review of the studies included in the most influential tourism academic journals on the tourist behavior influenced by the digital technologies. In the past few years, the interest in the topic increased, especially in the case of conference papers. Most of the research focusses on reviews and recommendation, on tourist experience, buying and consuming behavior, as well as on destination management. In terms of organizational focus, accommodation is a framework considered much more than in the case of other organizations. Although relevant for the practice of tourism, the sharing economy has not fully entered the research associated to the most influential tourism academic journals.
