Abstract
This paper discusses the related topic of tourism technology value assessment. Technology is now one of the evidential drivers of tourism growth in a rapidly evolving, globalized, and advanced world. The paper looks at a variety of technological products and services used in the tourism industry. Entertainment falls within the umbrella of relaxation, and it incorporates the activities and events we do to enjoy our time. Tourism makes it one step further-it is heading out to evenly accommodate entertainment and relaxation. The emergence of technological application has transformed the conventional use of the Internet. This new point of view has prompted a slew of studies on its effect on the tourism industry. The Internet is the most important tourism technology. Mobile phones, cable television, fixed telephones, and standard personal computers and laptops can all be used to access it. Information is readily throughout the day and night, and the cost transparency that results allows customers to make more informed decisions. Tourism is still a thriving industry in Bangladesh, but it has some difficulties relating to the data available. As a result, two approaches were needed for this study’s methodology: desk approaches that included meta-analysis; and approaches of in-depth interview of selected markets. The study relied on primary data. Most of the previous topic has been condensed into a succinct overview of some important marketing points for applying to promote potential tourism technologies in this report.
