Enhancing resilience in tourism destination assemblages through smart governance
Objectives | This research introduces various epistemological dimensions of resilience to address the challenge of tourism destinations facing the existing lack of consensus and the various contrasting viewpoints considered in the resilience field. The paper aims to emphasize the complexity of tourism destinations as multiplicities in which people, nature, economy, and politics are interconnected within a single socio-ecological assemblage (Cheer and Lew, 2018; Jovicic, 2019; Hartman, 2021). It highlights that destinations are intricate socio-ecological assemblages where various elements are interconnected and cannot be studied in isolation (Hall, 2018). The paper suggests a different approach to governance structures (Hartman, 2018) that emphasizes adaptive governance to encourage the emergence of well-coordinated tourism and non-tourism components at destinations (Briassoulis, 2017; Lew et al., 2017; McKercher, 1999). In this context, governance structures that consider resilience across scales and sectors become crucial for anticipating changes and making resilient decisions (Hartman, 2018; Amore et al., 2018). Methodology | The paper begins with a comprehensive literature review aimed at identifying existing debates, perspectives, and gaps in the understanding of resilience in tourism. It then develops a conceptual framework that integrates concepts from various sources, including socio-ecological assemblages, panarchy, adaptive governance, and smart technology. To achieve this, the authors argue for the establishment of a tourism intelligence system that utilizes big data technology and both quantitative and qualitative indicators. This system enables the prediction of various scenarios (Gibson and Tarrant, 2010; Kitchin et al., 2015), paving the way for the formulation of pro-resilient decisions. These decisions consider the entire elements of the socio-ecological assemblage and their interactions from a multi-scalar holistic perspective (Getimis, 2012).
