Today\, consumers increasingly strive for experiences gained by the consumption of products/services. Tourism as a traditionally service-dominated industry has always been on the forefront of the experience economy. For tourism businesses\, designing\, staging and delivering meaningful\, unique and memorable consumer experiences has become an imperative. \nAt the same time\, recent dynamic technological advancements have provided opportunities for adding value to already high-level quality tourism products and services. Businesses in the cruise\, aviation\, or hospitality sectors\, as well as a number of destination management organisations\, have successfully implemented information and communication technologies in order to enhance the experiences provided for their customers. For example\, British Airways offer iPads as a means of inducing an immersive in-flight experience for their customers. Carnival Cruise Lines have developed a multimedia platform to directly engage with customers during the pre- and post-travel stage\, and improved the on-travel experience through digital signage. \nThe role of technology in staging tourism experiences represents a cutting-edge concept in experiential tourism marketing. Participants in this Workshop will: \n\nUnderstand the importance of technological solutions for customer experiences\nLearn how recent technolgical developments can enhance tourism and hospitality products and services;\nAnd find out from leading experts in the field about current best practices and future opportunities of technology-enhanced tourism experiences.\n\nhttp://www.ifitt.org/home/view/ifitt-e4t\nhttp://ifitteft-eorg.eventbrite.com/
