This study conceptualizes how automation, found in tourism to be driven largely by labor shortage, can be used to promote decent work.

This research investigates travelers' trust in intelligent autonomous technologies based on two studies involving self-driving transportation and robot bartenders. The contribution of this research is in elucidating consumer trust in intelligent robots designed for socially-driven interactions in travel settings.

We validated Travelers' Online Privacy Concerns (TOPC) with the trust-risk framework and assessed their influence on willingness to disclose identifier, biographic, biometric, and behavioural data. We suggest trust-building and risk-mitigating strategies to improve travelers' confidence in sharing their personal data while preserving their privacy.
