WHAT IS SMART TOURISM?
Smart tourism is about leveraging technology to create a more enjoyable, efficient, and sustainable tourism experience for both citizens and tourism providers.
It aims to provide personalized, seamless, and immersive experiences to citizens, both residents and tourists, while also improving the sustainability and environmental impact of tourism. It involves the use of smart destination management systems that collect and analyze data to inform decision-making, optimize resource allocation, and enhance the quality of tourism products and services.
