Tourism 4.0

We don’t want to follow the changes, we want to co-create them. Since more than 25 years Arctur’s Research and Innovation department has been serving as crossroad of creativity, failing and learning from mistakes, to live the interdisciplinary spirit by merging the most different worlds of science, art and business into one innovative energy. With this energy we want to transform the perception of tourism and business around it.

Tourism 4.0 is a name for the current trend of big data processing collected from a vast amount of travellers, to create personalized traveling experience. It is based on variety of modern high-tech computer technologies. Term originates from new paradigm in industry, known as Industry 4.0.

 

Bringing R&D into tourism

Many modern technologies (e.g. AI, VR, AR, blockchain etc.) can help remote places to grow into interesting destinations. To take advantage of the new possibilities the so-called research and development (R&D) needs to be embraced in the tourism sector. Slovenia is embracing it by funding the largest R&D project in tourism in the history of Slovenia, the Tourism 4.0 TRL 3-6 project.
