Seasonality Research in the Context of Smart Tourism – Evidence for an Empirical Research Gap

Abstract

According to the definition of the UNWTO, one of the pillars of smart tourism research is the context of seasonality. Based on this approach, the authors aimed to reveal the results of the extent to which field-specific literature addresses this issue. However, regarding the concept of smart tourism, the authors of this study have shown a lack of attention to the relationship between these two logically related areas of tourism research: seasonality and smart tourism. Thus, the study proposed a new approach and possible research directions in connection with seasonality research in the context of smart tourism.
