Abstract: Abstract Technology application in tourism new strategy (from now on referred to as the e-smart e-tourism strategy). To provide valuable insights into technology applications tourism and support researchers, we must understand the options and gaps in this type of research. Thus, in this study, a literature review is conducted to map the research landscape into a coherent classification. We operate a focused search for every article related to (1) Technology application in tourism in one significant database, namely, Web of Science. These databases contain a range of publications focusing on technology application in tourism. The final set of data generated from the classification scheme includes 1335 articles. The first section consists of evaluation and comparative articles on the technology application in tourism. The second section is composed of technology application in tourism articles. The final section includes review and analysis articles on technology application in tourism. We then define the essential characteristics of this emerging field in the following aspects: the drive to use the technology application in tourism, open challenges that hinder use, and recommendations for improving the acceptance, use, and implementation of the technology application in tourism. Then, the new directions of this research were described.
