Future Tourism in a Robonomic World

This book envisions the future of tourism in an economy that is largely automated. An economic system that relies on robots, AI and automation technologies for the production of goods and delivery of services instead of human labour is known as ‘robonomics’. The volume explores the challenges of transitioning to a robonomic tourism ecosystem.

This book envisions the future of tourism in an economy that is largely automated. ‘Robonomics’ is the term given to this economic system that relies on robots, artificial intelligence and automation technologies for the production of goods and delivery of services instead of human labour. The volume examines the unique technological, socioeconomic and political situation that such an economy will create, and reflects on how tourism is then produced, consumed and paid for. The chapters explore some controversial solutions to the challenges of the robonomic economic system, such as redefinition of human rights, robot rights and universal basic income schemes. The chapters also consider the transition to a robonomic tourism ecosystem and the adjustments and innovations that will be required of consumers, industry and society.
