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.
