The paper first presents the main contribution of the paper, the definition of Personalized Digital Tourism, and then it discusses the most related scientific approaches such as CogInfoCom, Generation Theories, DR, and AI. Then the paper points out these new and rapid technological advancements of recent years in the tourism industry which have resulted in a transformation of human behaviour. The paper emphasizes the necessity of achieving a more advanced conceptual grasp of the field of Tourism science.
