The role of technology in wine tourism
No full textThis chapter mainly focuses on the way new technologies can enhance the wine tourism experience. After a brief overview of scholarly research, a selection of international case studies related to wine tourism is presented to outline the general context. In doing so, it attempts to stimulate a debate about the role of technology in this market, which remains an underinvestigated theme. Actually, new technologies appear to have a direct impact on the main three elements constituting the wine experience: learning, hedonism, and the ‘winescape’. Their adoption can stimulate operators to resort to more engaging concepts that integrate digital (e.g., virtual tours), ‘phygital’ (e.g., digital tastings), and physical (e.g., onsite visits) experiences. This certainly increases the appeal of the wine tourism sector, both to primary-motivated tourists and other travelers (such as non-wine-drinker tourists)
SOLAR ENERGY Fundamentals, Economic and Energy Analysis
Full text linkThe world is facing depleting natural fuel such as coal, natural gas for power generation and ever
increasing demand of electricity. In this scenario everybody is looking for non-conventional,
renewable energy sources such solar power, wind energy etc. The present book “Solar Energy –
Fundamentals, Economic & Energy Analysis” is based on present knowledge on solar energy
technology written by Mr. Saurabh Kumar Rajput, gives hands on information for practicing
engineers. This book is useful for budding engineers and researchers also. Many industries
including textiles and garment industries are installing solar power plants in large scale. This will
be useful for the energy engineers of these industries
Synergies in food, wine, culture and tourism
No full textTourism research fully acknowledges the role of food and wine as contemporary cultural resources. In this context, the development of tourist products based on these elements have turned into a strategic option for many producers as it provides the opportunity to make themselves attractive to tourists interested both in culture and in gastronomy. The purpose of this chapter is to present positive correlations between food, wine, culture and tourism through the presentation of a selection of international case studies where those elements have been creatively combined. After a brief overview of scholarly research on the role of food and wine as mediums of cultural tourism, the chapter introduces these innovative cases with emphasis on experience development

Technologies for enhancing wine tourism experiences
No full textThe strategic adoption of new technologies in tourism is not new, but in recent years it has become an integral part of this industry revolutionizing the way the experiences are created and consumed. New technologies facilitate tourists to access information and to establish a direct contact with tourist suppliers, as well as contribute to create richer, more participatory and immersive experiences. And, as a result, to increase overall satisfaction. This chapter particularly focuses on the ways in which new technologies has enhanced the tourist experience by adding new values and contents. After a brief overview of scholarly research, as to outline the general context, a selection of international case studies related to wine tourism are presented. Actually, wine tourism is a growing tourism segment. It is intimately related to the identity of destination and comprise cultural and historical values. Wineries are no longer production sites but are turning into attractions for a wide audience of tourists. This has led local producers to enhance traditional services (e.g. visits and tastings) by integrating new technologies into the winery experience, as to overcome physical barriers (e.g. allowing tourists to experience the vineyard during all seasons), provide contents and increase visitor’s’ experience
Wine tourism and consumer behavior
No full textThe consumption of wine tourism is a complex behavior and is influenced by internal and external factors. This chapter investigates what influences the decision-making process by extending the wine tourism theory and considering this practice within the context of other food products in the destination. As to meet the chapter’s objectives, wine travelers are statistically compared to other leisure travelers. Data have been collected by the World Food Travel Association for the 2020 Food Travel Monitor. Findings provide evidence that being a wine traveler is positively correlated with a wider knowledge about wine and food in general. These travelers are more likely to be motivated to travel using more sources, including social media, printed media, and TV shows and videos. Personal health and wellness values and social responsibility are also more important to wine travelers’ decisions. Wine travelers rely on more social media, post more to social media, and also act as social surrogates, influencing others while traveling. This pattern of influence can be beneficial to tourism businesses

Luxury Hospitality and the Adoption of Voice Assistants: The Role of Openness to Change and Status Consumption
No full textNew technologies represent an important challenge for all sectors across the world, becoming a relevant opportunity for the luxury hospitality industry as well. This study empirically investigates the effects of openness to change and status consumption orientation in influencing luxury hotel guests' perceived usefulness of voice assistants when integrated with their staying. Specifically, we shed light on the potential interplay between these two constructs in shaping guests' perceived usefulness of these devices. Finding suggests that openness to changes and status consumption represents two potentially alternative aspects that managers could leverage to encourage hotel guests' perceived usefulness and vocal assistant devices. This implies that openness to change on the part of luxury hotel guests may be a necessary but not sufficient condition for these devices to be accepted. Rather, luxury hotel managers should also consider the status consumption orientation of their guests
