1 Monitor and predict demand

One of the key challenges of tourism management is to anticipate the fluctuations in visitor numbers and preferences, and to adjust the supply accordingly. Technology can help by providing real-time and historical data on tourism flows, patterns, and trends, as well as forecasting models and scenarios. For example, sensors, cameras, GPS, and mobile apps can track the movements and behaviors of tourists, while online platforms, social media, and reviews can capture their feedback and sentiments. This information can help tourism managers to allocate resources, staff, and infrastructure, as well as to design pricing, marketing, and communication strategies that match the demand.

There are various ways tourism crowds can be managed but first it's important to monitor and predict demand right from the booking process. That data will give information on the number of people expected for that tour, identify congestion points etc. Crowd monitoring systems like cameras, mobile app tracker, sensors can helps to track visitor movements and crowding especially in popular tourist destinations thereby leading to an effective crowd control and safety of all tourists.

2 Communicate and inform visitors

Another way to use technology to manage tourism crowds is to communicate and inform visitors effectively and efficiently. Technology can enable tourism managers to provide relevant, timely, and personalized information to tourists, such as opening hours, availability, prices, safety measures, and recommendations. For example, websites, apps, chatbots, and digital signage can deliver interactive and dynamic content to tourists, while email, SMS, and push notifications can alert them of any changes or updates. This information can help tourists to plan their trips, avoid peak times and crowded places, and make informed decisions.

3 Diversify and distribute tourism

Technology can also help to diversify and distribute tourism, by creating new products, services, and experiences that appeal to different segments of tourists, and by encouraging them to explore less-visited areas and attractions. For example, virtual reality, augmented reality, and gamification can enhance the tourism experience, by adding value, fun, and immersion to the destination. For example, tourists can use VR headsets to experience historical or cultural events, AR apps to interact with landmarks or wildlife, or games to complete challenges or quests. Technology can also help to promote alternative or emerging destinations, by showcasing their features, benefits, and stories through online platforms, social media, and influencers.

4 Engage and educate visitors

Finally, technology can help to engage and educate visitors, by fostering a sense of connection, responsibility, and awareness among tourists, and by encouraging them to adopt sustainable behaviors and practices. For example, technology can enable tourism managers to collect feedback and opinions from tourists, and to involve them in co-creating or co-designing tourism products or services. For example, tourists can use online surveys, polls, or forums to share their views and suggestions, or participate in crowdsourcing or crowdfunding initiatives to support local projects or causes. Technology can also help to educate tourists about the environmental, social, and cultural impacts of their actions, and to motivate them to reduce their footprint, waste, or consumption. For example, tourists can use apps, websites, or QR codes to access information or tips on how to be more eco-friendly, or receive rewards or incentives for doing so.

Some people made popular the word “OverTourism”. In my professional experience, I prefer to talk about the necessity to follow Travel Management’s principles. You can manage Tourism crowds with reactive polices (as limitations, taxes…) You can also use technology to manage the Tourist when they are already in your Tourism destination. But, by far, the most effective way is to increase the number of Tourists seduced and managed by local enterprises. For that reason, travel managers have to provide service from the beginning to the end of the trip. Furthermore, we can increase sustainability and profitability if we provide international routes and virtual experiences. We are travel managers, we are managers of waves of Tourists!
