About
Shafique Ur Rehman’s research lies at the intersection of tourism, technology, and inclusive service design, with a particular focus on enhancing experiences for travelers with disabilities. His most-cited work, “Meeting the needs of physically disabled tourists: use of service robots toward the hotel attachment” (2024, 12 citations), examines how service robots in hotels can foster emotional attachment and positive behavioral intentions among physically disabled guests. By leveraging a survey conducted via the Prolific platform, Rehman provides empirical evidence that thoughtful technological integration can transform accessibility into genuine customer loyalty. This contribution is notable for addressing an often-overlooked demographic in tourism research, bridging gaps between robotics, hospitality, and disability studies. While still early in his career, Rehman’s work signals a commitment to human-centered innovation, offering practical insights for hoteliers aiming to create truly inclusive environments. His research not only advances academic discourse but also carries real-world implications for designing more equitable travel experiences.
