Emerging Issues in Hospitality and Tourism

This presentation discusses the emerging issues in the hospitality and tourism industry, specifically the positive and negative impacts of ride sharing and article intelligence and robotics. It covers the benefits of ride sharing such as saving money, increasing resource efficiency, and job creation, as well as the negative impacts such as reducing the profitability of the auto industry and stress to drivers. It also explores the positive impacts of article intelligence and robotics, including saving money, eliminating human errors, and delivering superior services, as well as the negative impacts such as the need for advanced training and sometimes reduced efficiency.

TOURISM INDUSTRY- RIDE SHARING (PEER TO
PEER TRANSPORT )
Tourism as a industry is increasing day by day by taking into
consideration various sectors . Tourism is a concept that is derived
from the Latin word ‘TOMOS’. Tourism is not a industry but is
considered as an activity. It is related to an activity that takes place
when the people move from one place to another for leisure or for a
stay at least for 1 day. In tourism the main important factor is also
related to ride sharing. The tourist who goes for visiting the places
takes into consideration the transport (Stiglic, Agatz,
Savelsbergh and Gradisar, 2015.).

TOURISM INDUSTRY
 Ride sharing is related to the transport that is shared by the passengers. The
vehicle is shared in a form of carpool or vanpool. Car pool is sharing of car
journey so that more than one individual can travel easily. Vanpool is a form
of ride share. Peer to peer ride sharing can be divided b considering the
commercial and also transportation network companies. The companies that
are related to transportation network companies are : Uber X, Wingz and side
car (Teubner and Flath, 2015).

POSITIVE IMPACTS OF RIDE SHARING ( PEER
TO PEER TRANSPORT)
 Saves Money
 Increase resource efficiency,
 Job creation
 Lower cost competitors will enhance demand for the transport
services.
 Attract demand of the consumers, due to the low cost.
 Improve destinations infrastructure and services
 Pollution decreases (Santos and Xavier, 2015).

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF RIDE SHARING ( PEER
TO PEER TRANSPORT)
 Reduce the profitability of the auto industry
 Low prices gives direct impact on the drivers
 Price competition
 Stress to drivers

HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY- ARTICLE INTELLIGENCE AND ROBOTICS
 Artificial intelligence has a great role in the hospitality
industry. It is the ability to operate the traditional human
functions at any time. By taking into consideration Article
intelligence and robotics it is seen that possibilities for
improving this aspect will enhance the personalization to
the tailored communications (Cohen and Feigenbaum,
2014).

ARTICLE INTELLIGENCE AND ROBOTICS
EXAMPLES ARE :
 In person customer service
 Chabot's and messaging
 Data analysis
 Digital trends

POSITIVE IMPACT OF ARTICLE INTELLIGENCE AND
ROBOTICS
 Saves money of the hotel owners
 Eliminate human errors
 Deliver superior services
 Solves the problems effectively
 Personalization tasks
 Collect the data properly

NEGATIVE IMPACT
 Costly process
 Advanced training required
 Cant blame anyone for the activities that are conducted
 Sometimes efficiency is also affected.
