Summary of methodology

Phase 1 – Environmental Scan

This systematic analysis method will identify, examine, and compare different digital-free tourism programs offered by hotels through three steps:

  1. Online search using search engines, with selection criteria jointly established with the partners;
  2. Data extraction and compilation;
  3. Consultation with stakeholders offering digital-free tourism programs (via email, phone, and/or virtual meeting).

Phase 2 – Scoping Review of the Literature

A scoping review will be conducted on digital-free tourism in the hotel industry. This rigorous and systematic knowledge‑synthesis method will provide an overview of the scientific literature on a specific question — in this case, digital detox in hotel settings. This phase will include the following five steps:

  1. Identification of the research question in collaboration with partners;
  2. Identification of relevant studies through key academic databases;
  3. Study selection;
  4. Data extraction and charting;
  5. Compilation, synthesis, and presentation of the results.
