Destination

A Tourism Destination is said to be Smart when it makes
intensive use of the technological infrastructure provided by

the Smart City in order to: (i) enhance the tourism
experience of visitors by making them aware of both local
and tourism services and products available to them at the

destination and (ii) by empowering destination
management organizations, local institutions and tourism
companies to make their decisions and take actions based
upon the data produced in within the destination, gathered,
managed and processed by means of the technology

Conclusions
and
Implications

•

We build the technology that allows us to observe - microscope
•

Define how people move, why, who with, etc.

•

New measuring techniques variables

•

Know you client: ultra-personalisation

•

Go mobile to know you client

•

Mobile technology enables for the first time:
•
•

Evaluate various variables at the same time and compute them

•

•

Personalised services on the go

Better knowing and understanding the human mobility phenomenon

Definition and establishment of living labs
Conclusions
and
Implications

•

Inter and multidisciplinary work
•

We are not going to accomplish anything if we do not work closer
with one another
•

why are plenty of apps not working?

•

Why are plenty of marketing strategies not working?

•

More experimental work

•

IT is important, but tourism is a social science

•

Difficult to build living labs, but important to build smarter
destinations

•

More contact to industry and research
