This article offers a critical and original reinterpretation of the evolution of digital tourism through the analytical lens of successive industrial revolutions. Rather than treating digital tourism as a purely late twentieth century phenomenon, the study conceptualizes it as a historically layered process in which technological paradigms—from mechanization to artificial intelligence—have continuously reshaped tourist production, consumption, governance, and experience design. By integrating historical political economy, innovation theory, and tourism studies, the paper develops a novel stage based framework that explains how digital tourism emerged, diffused, and matured across Industrial Revolutions 1.0 to 4.0. The study contributes theoretically by reframing digital tourism as a socio technical system and methodologically by offering an interpretive model suitable for advanced doctoral research.
