Abstract

The dynamics of digital transformations and the impact of the
activities developed by the tourism industry and the people who
consume its goods and services, make it necessary to have tools that contribute to risk management in tourism. Therefore, this research is based on a theoretical approach to digital entrepreneurship and technological transformations that are available to the tourism sector. To this end, (1) a literature review and a bibliometric analysis was carried out using the tools VOSviewer 1.6. 20, Biblioshiny R and Vantage Point, based on the consultation of 128 documents indexed in Scopus and Web of science, based on the consultation of the equations ("risk management") AND ( "tourism*" OR "economic factors" OR "social factors" OR "environmental factors" OR "project management*" OR "risk management model" ) and ( "AI" OR "digital entrepreneurship*" OR "Machine Learning" OR "Digital Transformation" ) AND ("risk management" AND "tourism*" ). This was complemented with (2) a review of tools applied to tourism, where the supporting technologies for its operation were identified. The results reflect the consensus among different authors regarding the relevance of digitalization in the
implementation of business models that enable the development of new products and services, generating greater operational efficiency and contributing to the competitiveness, performance and productivity of companies. Among the technologies applied to the tourism activity are Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence,
Genetic Algorithm, Fuzzy Time Series, among others, which may
have implications in the management of human talent. Therefore,
digital transformation generates both a positive and negative impact on tourism activity, so that tourism risk management supported by technologies and digital entrepreneurship contributes to strengthening the sector. On the other hand, there is a low level of research production related to technology, risk management and tourism, which analyzed separately constitute basic topics in scientific production. Accordingly, this research aims to contribute as theoretical support to the analysis of technological applications to risk management in tourism, in order to strengthen the development of this important sector in the economy.
