Connectivity brings us together through shared routes\, accessibility\, communication\, and experiences in different environments and destinations. Increasingly\, global society is becoming more connected\, facilitating opportunities for exchange and interaction\, bringing both opportunities and challenges. Tourism is changing dramatically in the era of connectivity. Advanced technology enables users to amalgamate information and big data from various sources on their mobile devices\, personalise their profile through applications and social networks\, as well as interact dynamically with their surroundings and context. Tourism professionals increasingly use technologies and networking to bring different stakeholders together to co-create value for all. The conference will connect the different concepts of connectivity\, personalisation\, tourism development and marketing towards co-creation of the tourism experience. It will explore how these experiences can support the co-creation of value for all stakeholders and address a range of components of connectivity.

SUMMARY:eTourism @WTM2016 London
DESCRIPTION:eTourism: Disrupting innovations create opportunities and challenges the tourism and hospitality industry\nDisrupting innovations generate significant market structure changes\, modifying the operating practices\, industry structure and dominant logic. This structural change is affecting the organizational networks and the services tourism players are supposed to use to perform well in markets. Both opportunities and challenges emerge for the whole tourism and hospitality industry. \nRelationships between players change as their respective roles change; this is driven by e-commerce / e-business and disruptive innovation. For instance hotels\, thanks to e-business technological platforms\, can now use algorithms to set yield and revenue management strategies\, monitor competition in real time and allow consumers to use mobile devices to access several services. In the tourism industry\, many innovations have been initiated from companies in the information technology sector. Generally\, Information technology is revolutionizing products\, services and markets. \n7 Nov 2016\, 10:30 – 12:15 London\, WTM 2016\n \nWTM Inspire Theatre – EU475 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nModerator: Professor Dimitrios Buhalis\, Head of Department of Tourism and Hospitality\, Director of the eTourism Lab\, Bournemouth University \nFurther speakers to be announced \n

Travelling has become a huge part of many lives. When travelling\, we come across new people\, new sights\, and new ideas. Often our perception of the world changes as we see more of it. However\, we must not forget that for many\, travelling can be quite a difficult process. 15% of the world’s population is estimated to live with some form of disability. That is 1 billion people around the world who may be unable to enjoy the privilege of knowing other cultures\, experience nature at its fullest and experience the thrill of embarking on a journey to explore new sights. \nAccessibility for all should be at the center of tourism policies and business strategies not only as a human right\, but also as a great market opportunity. With the world’s population ageing\, all of us will benefit sooner or later from universal accessibility in tourism.  As we celebrate World Tourism Day\, let us recall that all of the world’s citizens have the right to experience the incredible diversity this planet has to offer. We thus urge all countries and destinations\, as well as the industry\, to promote accessibility for all in the physical environment\, in transport systems\, in public facilities and services and in information and communications channels. \nI wish you a very happy World Tourism Day and a future full of enriching and compelling travel experiences to be enjoyed by all. \nDr Taleb Rifai UNWTO Secretary General \n\n‘Tourism for All – Promoting Universal Accessibility’ –Going Beyond World Tourism Day\nTuesday 27th September 2016 Venue: Bournemouth University\, Talbot Campus\nFusion Building SHARE Lecture Theatre 10.00-12.30\nFREE event – please Register on http://bournemouthuniversitywtd2016.eventbrite.co.uk

SUMMARY:Digital work-life-balance: ‘Going off the grid’
DESCRIPTION:EPSRC Balance Network\nDigital work-life-balance:\n‘Going off the grid’: Can employees really switch off during travel?\n9th of March 2016\, 12.00-17.00 at Bournemouth University \nEvent lifestream \nTechnologies have had a massive impact on society and transformed how we work\, live and experience travel. Social and mobile technologies have particularly enabled people to connect on an unprecedented scale\, with any device\, anywhere and at any time. While technologies enhance our professional and private lives in numerous ways\, there is increasing evidence that people are no longer ‘switching off’. Leisure travel\, grounded in the motivation of escapism and the reversal of everyday life\, has traditionally had the purpose to switch off\, refresh and restore body and mind. What happens however if ‘going off the grid’ is no longer an option in our hyper-connected and work-centred lifestyles? \nThis event aims to open a debate on changed work life balance realities in a digital world. It engages academics\, tourism\, technology and HR professionals\, students and the public in a dialogue about the wider challenges and expectations towards connectivity of employees in the context of travel. \nFunder: EPSRC\nPrincipal Investigator: Dr Barbara Neuhofer\nCo-Investigator: Professor Adele Ladkin \nThe event takes place on 9th of March 2016\, 12.00-17.00 at Bournemouth University\, Kimmeridge House. \nREGISTER FOR FREE HERE: http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/epsrc-balance-network-going-off-the-grid-can-employees-really-switch-off-during-travel-tickets-19776981484 \n\nEvent Programme \nDigital work-life-balance: ‘Going off the grid’: Can employees really switch off during travel? \n  \n12.00-12.30        Arrival and Registration at Kimmeridge House Foyer \n12.30-13.00        Welcome and workshop opening \n©   Prof Keith Wilkes (Dean of Faculty of Management) Welcome to Bournemouth University \n©   Dr Barbara Neuhofer and Prof Adele Ladkin \nWelcome and event opening \n13.00-15.00        Presentations: “Going off the Grid: Challenges and expectations of employee connectivity during travel.” \n©  Prof Dimitrios Buhalis (Director eTourismLab\, Bournemouth University) \nTo connect or not to connect: Is this a question? \n©  Dr Zornitza Yovcheva (Augmented Reality Expert and User Experience Consultant\, WeAreExperience London) \nThe future is a connected life: Wearable technologies and ubiquitous connectivity \n  \n©  Dr Lauren Kita (Mindfulness Therapist and Research Psychologist\, Bournemouth University) \nSwitching off: The importance of disconnecting for restoration of body and mind during travel \n©  Dr Juliet Jain (Senior Research Fellow\, University of the West of England): Connected or disconnected?
