Natural Resource Conservation for Sustainable Tourism Integrating AI and IoT for Tourism Development

Natural Resource Conservation for Sustainable Tourism offers a timely and forward-looking examination of how emerging technologies are reshaping global sustainability efforts. Bringing together cutting-edge research, the book investigates how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) can address mounting environmental challenges; enhance natural resource conservation; and support sustainable tourism development. Through interdisciplinary insights and real-world applications, it illustrates how technological innovation is rapidly transforming conservation practices and enabling more resilient, responsible, and ecologically aligned tourism systems.

Positioned at the intersection of environmental science, technology, and tourism studies, the international author team explores the environmental pressures faced by destinations and the transformative potential of digital tools to mitigate negative impacts. From AI-enabled waste and water management solutions to IoT-driven monitoring of ecosystems and visitor behaviour, the book demonstrates how technology can generate value-added tourism experiences while strengthening ecosystem protection and advancing sustainable development goals. Serving scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and educators alike, it provides both conceptual depth and practical guidance, making it an essential resource for understanding and navigating the future of technology-enabled sustainable tourism.
