| description | This study explores the transformative potential of Blockchain technology within the tourism sector, with a primary focus on its role in promoting sustainability and enhancing stakeholder engagement. Employing a qualitative methodology, this study incorporates interviews with ten industry experts and key stakeholders in tourism. The findings underscore Blockchain’s capacity to bolster sustainability efforts by fostering transparency, traceability, and accountability. This, in turn, enables effective monitoring of supply chains, validates eco-friendly certifications, and verifies adherence to sustainable practices. In addition, Blockchain empowers local communities by offering a decentralized platform for participation and decision-making. This study also identified critical challenges, including the necessity for scalable and energy-efficient Blockchain solutions, along with the imperative to address legal and regulatory impediments. The outcomes not only enrich our understanding of Blockchain’s potential in the tourism sector but also provide valuable recommendations for future research and implementation. Blockchain technology is poised to revolutionize tourism, champion sustainability, and cultivate collaborative stakeholder relationships. |
