Abstract: Technology has been intertwined with hospitality and tourism from the 1940s. Currentconversations on technology design, racial politics and ethics are almost absent fromthe tourism literature although wider technology literature focuses on this. Moreover,these technologies are still associated with the tourism industry and affect the businessof practitioners and lives of tourists. This research note proposes the application ofcritical race theory to unravel these industry occurrences. As a result, technologies intourism studies will not only focus on efficiency and empowerment but also inclusion,which can further enable an investigation into concepts of justice, equality and equity.
