The talk highlights technological developments, some trends and concepts will be covered – from personalised environments, personalised service spectrums and personal informatics… to frontierism, holographic laptops and EMOWEAR. Towards the end of the presentation, some ideas about trends in tourism marketing research will be explored. Special highlights will be given to the role of human emotions and new ways of capturing people’s emotions – both strongly influencing the tourism’s future.
