Abstract

In a destination that cares about information technologies and can keep up with new technological developments, it may be possible to provide that tourism resources are used correctly, not destroyed, and transferred to future generations. From this point of view, it can be said that technology has strategic importance in the production, development, marketing, and future existence of a destination or a tourism product in sustainable tourism. In addition, technological innovations developed in the service sector such as tourism can also provide the renewal of the products. Creating added value of the product is the core of the innovation process and is very important. Therefore, it is important to use information technologies to create alternative tourism types such as soft tourism developed as alternative to the environmental destruction of mass tourism, and rural tourism and farm tourism within the scope of ecotourism based on the creation of economic opportunities. Thus, the positive economic impacts of tourism by developing a new product and also using of ithe resources without being destroyed by eliminating environmental adverse effects can be sustained. In this context, the purpose of the research is to examine sustainable tourism practices in tourism destinations in Asia, and to reveal the importance of technological applications in terms of sustainable tourism, and to make recommendations to destinations for developing technology-based sustainable tourism applications.
