Abstract

The main purpose of the chapter is to identify the potential of big data analysis (BDA) as a tool to enhance the tourism experience by offering products/services that are more personalised to meet each visitor’s unique needs and preferences, as well as to counteract the negative effects of overtourism. The literature review was adapted to define and estimate the significance of data-based experience management. Some examples of big data (BD) application in travel and tourism were identified (e.g. a predictive tourism experience, Internet-based tourist involvement and co-creation, personalisation of the value proposal, effectiveness improvement and promotion enhancement).
