Tourism has been a critical feature of human exploration . It is important to note however, that sustainability too has become a critical component of business legitimacy, as concerns over the negative impacts of tourism have been expressed. In order to support possible future opportunities in alternative tourism, we examine in this chapter how technological improvements, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), can enhance environmental monitoring, decision-making, and personalization. We also highlight the importance of inclusive design and universal access in creating equitable travel experiences. Finally, it looks at how adventurous, cutting-edge travel, from space tourism to vacations with a climate focus, is altering our understanding of exploration. This chapter also alerts to the dark side of technological adoption, including risk of exclusion, digital surveillance, and ethical dilemmas of combining business and sustainability in planning and operations.
