==============================


*Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Representation for Cultural Heritage
and Tourism Enhancement*


This Special Issue explores the transformative impact of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Knowledge Representation technologies in cultural
heritage and tourism. It seeks contributions on AI-driven methods—such as
machine learning, natural language processing, semantic web technologies,
and knowledge graphs—to enhance heritage preservation, create immersive
tourist experiences, and promote sustainable tourism. The issue welcomes
research on AI-powered solutions for the tourism industry, including
personalised tour planning, sentiment analysis, and operational
optimisation. The overarching goal is to highlight how AI and knowledge
representation can drive innovation, enhance engagement, and unlock new
economic opportunities in the sector.


*Key topics include (but are not limited to) the following*:

   - Digital Preservation and Curation;
   - Three-Dimensional Reconstruction, Virtual Reality, and Augmented
   Reality;
   - Automatic Classification and Annotation;
   - Storytelling and Narrative Generation;
   - Smart Tour Planning Systems;
   - Automated Tourist Feedback Analysis;
   - Chatbots and Virtual Assistants;
   - Tourism Logistics Optimisation;
   - Geospatial Data Analysis for Recommendation Engines;
   - Predictive Analytics for Tourism;
   - AI for Sustainable Tourism;
   - Applications in Cultural Heritage and Tourism.

We invite researchers from diverse fields to submit original research
articles and review papers that advance our understanding of AI’s role in
transforming both cultural heritage and the tourism sector.
