Chapter Chapter 21 in Technology Application in the Tourism and Hospitality Industry of Bangladesh, 2021, pp 347-365 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Technology application has become a common phenomenon in the tourism industry throughout the world. In Bangladesh, tourism service providers have started to use various technologies which are comparatively less competitive and not much cutting-edge. Contributions from the use of such technologies are still unexplored in the country context, due to unavailability and incalculable characteristics of necessary data and empirical information regarding their contribution. This chapter, therefore, focuses on explaining the use of innovations and technologies in the tourism industry of Bangladesh and how these revolutionary technologies have an impact on the socio-economic growth of the country. Grounded on the literature studies we have developed a framework that may explain how technology application leads to socio-economic development in any country. In addition, considering the inestimable nature of the data on their relation to social and economic progress, we used the accessible secondary sources to come up with a comprehensive idea of the outcomes of technology implementations in the tourism industry on socio-economic growth in an emerging country like Bangladesh. Finally, based on the findings we discussed implications of the present investigation to the upliftment of the tourism industry for the socio-economic advancement of the country.
