Information Technologies used to Ensure Tourism Safety

This paper emphasized the relevance of the development of computer science and technological solutions for the safety of tourists, tourism workers, and their material possessions. Planning safety measures in tourism requires considering risks in four different areas: human and institutional environment inside and outside the tourism sector, related commercial activities, individual travel (personal risks) and physical and environmental risks.9 In addition to standard safety measures such as ramps, video surveillance and the human factor, new types of protection have begun to emerge. The Central Monitoring System (CMS) is an ideal solution for large accommodation complexes that need an additional level of protection, especially facilities with a high-star rating. Such facilities usually use a highly integrated security measures and have no problem financing them. Their clients require a maximum level of protection, which is why sometimes the entire outdoor area of the complex is covered with additional surveillance and access to locations such as the beach, lounge bar and outdoor swimming pools is restricted for the nonguests. The paper also mentioned how IT equipment can help with health problems, such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Thermal cameras are a newer technology that can prevent further spreading of the disease in such an event. Although such technology is quite expensive, hindrances in business can cost even more. It is important to understand that investing in IT and technical equipment for safety purposes is not a "waste of money", but a prevention that will prove useful in the future. Tourism is a very sensitive industry and is most affected by the level of safety. As mentioned in the paper, with all the technology, integrated IT solutions and surveillance staff (such as security guards), a great responsibility lies on the tourists themselves, as well as tourism professionals. No equipment, camera or device can fully prevent the negative outcome of an unwanted event if people do not take care of their safety and the safety of their property. Numerous fires, electric shocks or thefts could be prevented with a small dose of caution,
