Abstract
Smart tourism is a social phenomenon arising from the integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) into the physical infrastructure of a destination. Big data, as a lifeblood of ICTs, supports smart tourism development. Although smart tourism has become a buzz concept, it is still facing a number of issues. This study aims to investigate the current issues that prevent smart tourism development by reviewing recent studies in the field. To address these issues, it also suggests a research agenda for future studies from the perspective of destination management.
