This paper reviews the key developments in tourism IoT from the mid-2010s, highlighting technological, economic, and socio-cultural impacts. It explores the adoption of IoT technologies –such as smart wearables, intelligent transportation systems, and augmented reality –across tourism sectors, emphasizing their effects on tourist behaviour and sustainable tourism development. A mixed-method approach, including literature reviews and expert interviews, is used to analyse these trends. Findings reveal that IoT enhances personalization, immersion, and sustainability in travel experiences, though privacy, security, and ethical issues pose challenges. Strategic planning and collaboration are necessary to leverage IoT innovations for sustainable tourism growth. 2025 2025 153 164 10.54216/JISIoT.140213 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/18/show/3291
