Innovation, Technology and Sustainable Development: The adoption of a new paradigm for the Tourism sector
Keywords:
techno-economic paradigm, sustainability, opportunitiesAbstract
There are social and economic trends that support the historical propositions of Carlota Perez on technological revolutions and techno- economic paradigms, such as the diffusion of new technologies, changes in organizations, labor, investment, products, innovations and customers to adapt and successfully confront crisis periods. Our time is characterized by an unusual crisis, deep and widespread worldwide, and it may be signaling that the paradigm of information technology is nearing its implementation phase while a new revolution is brewing. There are warning signs everywhere announcing the emergence of the sustainability paradigm. This article bets on the tourism industry to provide data on technical, economic and social change that are guiding this transformation process and tries to draw attention to the windows of opportunity open to new participants as a form of development of regions, cities, businesses, communities and entrepreneurs.References
