abstract
Today, technology affects not only the tourism sector but also other sectors. As a result of this impact, various developments have occurred in the tourism sector. As a result of these developments, guests' perspectives and expectations of businesses have begun to change. These changes in businesses have led to the adoption of the term "smart tourism" in tourism terminology and to the integration of businesses with technology. This study aims to examine the current status of the concept based on studies and application examples related to smart tourism technologies. Identifying examples of smart tourism technologies is essential because it provides insights into how hotel businesses can benefit from these applications, the different application methods, and their advantages. For smart tourism technologies to flourish in the tourism sector, various incentives should be supported, thus ensuring their increased use in businesses. Furthermore, several recommendations are offered to businesses for the use and widespread adoption of smart tourism technologies.
