Abstract

The development of tracking technologies such as GPS receivers, mobile phones and recently smartphones is a very dynamic domain, with the potential to capture ubiquitous and real-time spatial human movement and behavior. Until recently, the most common method for gathering information on human timespace patterns was the time-space diary. While time-space diaries have been used to great effect they do have several disadvantages as research tools. In this chapter we will present data collected in Hong Kong in the past years in order to present the abilities of tracking technologies to contribute to our understanding regarding cultural consumption of tourists visiting a destination.
