ABSTRACT

Integrating intelligent applications in the interior design of hospitality establishments signifies a substantial advancement in enhancing visitor experiences and operational efficacy. The emergence of new technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and building information modeling (BIM), is transforming the design and functionality of tourism-related places to address the increasing need for sustainability, energy efficiency, and personalized services. This systematic literature analysis examines works published from 2010 to 2024, focusing on the impact of intelligent technologies on the interior design of diverse tourism facilities, including heritage sites, eco-resorts, and urban hotels. The review highlights significant developments in adopting these technologies, emphasizing their contributions to improving interior spaces' aesthetic and functional dimensions and their impact on energy conservation and sustainable practices. Moreover, intelligent applications enhance guest pleasure by providing more immersive, tailored experiences, cultivating a stronger bond between the surroundings and guests. The primary findings indicate that integrating smart technologies enhances operational efficiency, increases sustainability initiatives, and improves visitor experience. This report presents a comprehensive analysis of current trends. It delivers essential insights for interior designers and tourism operators aiming to include smart apps in their projects to maintain competitiveness in a progressively digitalized tourism market. The study highlights the significance of continuous innovation in designing tourism facilities and its broader implications for the future of smart tourism. The study's limitations encompass the range of technologies assessed and their disparate adoption among various tourism establishments, potentially impacting generalizability. This review enhances the scholarly and practical comprehension of smart interior design in the tourism industry.
