Anatolia is accepting manuscripts for a special issue entitled “The Role of AI in Sustainability in Tourism and Hospitality.” The submission deadline is 1 December 2026.

The issue seeks research examining whether and how artificial intelligence contributes to sustainability across tourism businesses, destinations, consumer practices, and non-governmental organisations. It particularly highlights the need for empirical evidence connecting AI adoption with environmental improvements, operational resilience, and responsible development.

Suggested topics include energy and water efficiency, waste reduction, emissions forecasting, sustainable supply chains, crisis preparedness, visitor-flow management, and responsible consumer behaviour. Contributions may also examine algorithmic fairness, data governance, regulation, and generative AI in sustainable tourism marketing.
