Abstract
The Techno-Geopolitical Aspects of Tourism in the Global Political Economy chapter explores how digital technology and geopolitical forces interact to transform tourism as a spatial-political activity as well as an economic sector. It emphasizes how governments and non-state actors use technology as a geopolitical tool by placing tourism within historical and modern power relations, drawing on classical and critical geopolitical theory. The chapter makes the case that in the current digital era, certain actors have more control over worldwide visitor flows, place narratives, and economic strength due to their access to knowledge, communications infrastructure, and technology capital. Territorial claims, political ideologies, and national identities are created and disputed in the context of tourism. The study urges a reconsideration of tourism as a techno-geopolitical assemblage influenced by digital transformation, spatial narratives, and political intent, rather than just as leisure or business.
